Vines have been planted in the Clos du Bourg for over 14 centuries; an unusually shallow layer of topsoil forces the rootstock to bore into solid limestone bedrock, resulting in wines of great power and finesse. The sweetest wine from the impressive Huet line up, this gem is a treat with a cheese course.

Staff Pick Notes

Like so many things in life, dinner parties have their own pacing and rhythm, with a time and place for many different kinds of wine. Start with some bubbly or an apperitif, move on to white wines, then reds, followed by something a little sweet with a cheese course perhaps. It's a story, a symphony that needs a sensitive conductor to see it through to the end.

Like this sweet Chenin-based wine from one of the Loire's most renowned producers. A bottle with 15 years of age (although it can go much longer) from the year Gaston Huet died. It's beautifully rich with aromas of peach, apricots and honey, full bodied with bright acidity, apple skins, and apricots. A luxurious note to cap off a special evening.

Loire

There’s a lot to remember when it comes to the Loire. Novices, take note: Cabernet Franc is a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscadet is unparalleled as a companion to shellfish, and Cour Cheverny is the best white wine appellation you’ve never heard of. As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.

These days, one of the most exciting stories is in South Africa, where newly adopted winemaking technologies have helped a dedicated group of producers to bring the country's dry...
