Biodynamic. Together with its sister-in-arms, Cuvée Edmond, Dix-Neuf is the antithesis of modern 'textbook' Sancerre. This jaw-dropping Sancerre is drawn from the oldest vines in the Moussière vineyard (approximately 100 years of age) cropped at Grand Cru Burgundy-level yields (in fact, the lower end of this range). The wine was fermented and raised in 2,000-litre, tronconique wooden tanks for 12 months before a spell in steel, again on lees. Only 500 cases per year get to see the light of … more

Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Petite Moussiere Rouge 2020 375ml
Petite Moussière is Mellot's entry-level Pinot, drawn from younger vines on the Saint-Doulchard marls of La Moussière. Although the name of the wine suggests something light and crunchy, even here there is a lovely plumpness of fruit and vinous depth. Saying that, Alphonse Mellot is aiming for a more open and approachable style here, so this fruit experiences more delicate maceration and shorter aging than for the Moussière proper.

Domaine du Collier 'La Charpentrie' Saumur Blanc 2020
Importers Notes "Always an incredible wine, this is produced from an old vine parcel (>100 years) in the lieu-dit of 'La Charpentrie' in Brézé. Deeper and more sombre than the wine above always with a fine precision. Thrilling, complex scents of lime, flowers and pineapple give way brightly citric, concentrated palate, underpinned by chalky, mineral elements. This has more power and tension than the Saumur Blanc (if that is even possible!) - it is simply a wine for the ages. … more

Domaine du Collier Saumur Blanc 2019
Importers Notes - "The 2019 vintage has added power and sapid depth to the usual brightness and levity. That it is a wine from grapes grown in stone and then aged in a stone cellar is evident - this is totally crystalline, seemingly hewn purely from the stones that lie in the ground from which it comes - floating on top as usual is the entrancing citrus and floral perfume. In 2019 there is again great freshness and clarity - … more

Domaine Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Demi Sec 1996 375ml
"Honey and spice aromas give way to a luscious palate, with notes of honey, marzipan, orange and dried apricot. Noticeable sweetness is well balanced with acidity. Though rich, it's not really a dessert wine, and though it would accompany food well, it's probably best appreciated on its own. Delicious now, and should improve through 2010." 91 points, The Wine Spectator

Domaine Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Demi Sec 2020
"Drinking the 2020 Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec is like taking your shoes off at the end of a long day of walking and soaking them in warm water: there's just satisfaction and relaxation. The 2020 has a sense of volume but not weight, filling the mouth with depths of pure fruit before the acid pours forth like a canal lock being opened. You can expect a hint of spice and crème caramel alongside apple and florals. I am utterly seduced." … more

Domaine Huet Vouvray Cuvee Constance 2016 500ml
Since 1989, the estate has also produced this magical, botrytized dessert wine selected from one, two or all three vineyards. When made, the Cuvée Constance (named for Gaston's mother) ranks among the world's greatest dessert wines. It is a wine of such captivating purity, precision and complexity that it is almost indescribable. Its straw-coloured robe is green with golden hues. The nose titillates the taster's sense of smell with its scents of apricot jam, candied grapefruit, quince, bergamot and flowers. … more

Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Demi-Sec 2022
Huet's demi secs typically fall between 18 and 25 g/L residual sugar (give or take a few grams), but the acidity makes the wines appear only just off-dry.
"The 2022 Le Haut-Lieu Demi-Sec is juicy, though never generous, but still a comforting Vouvray that remains focused; there's sufficient tension from the acidity despite the season's warmth. Welcoming and friendly from the off, there's ?ne fruit here with a pretty talc note. It has a sense of persistence and presence that … more

Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Mont Sec 2022
"The 2022 Le Mont Sec is a parcel of Chenin planted on clay with scattered ?int, giving a certain tension to the style you certainly don't ?nd in the come-hither Clos du Bourg. Its supple, concentrated core of fruit sits within a framework of structure. Both acidity and phenolics add tension and sinew. While some natural residual sugar remains (5.5g/L residual sugar), this rounds out the palate and brings balance-it's near-as-dammit dry in its impression and technically dry under Vouvray's … more
