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

François Cotat Sancerre Cuvée Paul 2017

Importers Notes - "From a plot just over 1 hectare in size in Les Monts Damnés, the imposing sweep of vineyards that look down driectly upon Chavignol. This has a deeper tone and pitch than the 'Caillotes' and perhaps a touch more concentration. François's Monts Damnés is clearly the best example of this famous Cru. Reflecting the excellent vintage, this wine is cool and compact, a taut, tightly coiled core of briny minerality; such tension, and exquisite balance. Superb and … more

Domaine Nicolas Joly Savennières Clos de la Coulée de Serrant 2020

Exclusively owned by the Joly family, the Coulée de Serrant vineyard is a controlled appellation of only 7 hectares.

The vineyard was planted in 1130 by Cistercian monks and today consists of vines aged from 35 to 80 years old. The old small monastery still exists and a few hundred meters away, the castle of La Roche aux Moines was built and dismantled during the wars of religion.

Always considered as a rare and unique product, the Serrant Casting was … more

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

François Cotat Sancerre La Grande Côte 2023

Importers Notes - "This vineyard is where François has his oldest vines, these days the average age is about 40 years because he has had to replant many of the very old vines as the Sauvignon is susceptible to viruses as it ages and so past 60 years old the vine is usually close to unproductive. This vineyard produces the most flamboyant wines in this collection, there are subtle notes of orchard fruit and more power but don't let that … 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

François Cotat Sancerre 'Caillottes' 2023

"This has superb dimension, unlike any other Sancerre - bright lemon, fresh ginger and white pepper perfumes are lifted and hover over a rocky minerality; the mouth is equally defined yet is made rich with a sensation of silky, full-bodied white fruits. The mouthfeel is chiseled and pure with layers of concentrated flavour. This used to be called "Jeunes Vignes" but François has been vinifing "Caillottes" separately since 2005; the vineyard name refers to a type of soil found in … 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

François Cotat Sancerre Rosé 2023

Importers Notes - "Cotat's rosé is cult and one of a very small group that benefit from (and in some ways demand) aging. Just like Cotat's whites, with age, it's the terroir that comes to dominate the rosé with a singular minerality. There may be a silky texture and gentle floral notes, but it's the stony minerality that defines old Cotat rosé. Sadly, they're as rare as they are beautiful."

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
