Le Grappin

Herne Hill market. Also a guest producer at Alexandra Palace market.



Andrew and Emma Nielsen are small, artisan winemakers from Burgundy, France. Splitting their time between their home in London and their ancient winery beneath the walls of Beaune, they make all of their wines by hand, aiming for wines that are expressive and delicious, from under appreciated vineyards in Burgundy and Beaujolais. In the past year, they have been named one of the “Top 25 Négociant Winemakers in Burgundy” by Master of Wine, Tim Atkin and a “Top 10 Unsung Winemaker” by Burgundy expert, Bill Nanson.

Their Du Grappin range of wines are made with Summer days in mind and are available by refillable bottle, #Bagnum and Bag-in-Box; packaging that reduces carbon foot-print by up to 80% compared to traditional glass and is wallet-friendly too. Pay a small deposit for a refillable bottle or bring your own sealable bottle of any size from home and leave with hand made Rosé, Rouge or Blanc. Headed to the park? Don’t forget to ask for an ice cold #Bagnum.
