From the 'other side of the road' at the bottom of Gevrey, but this is relatively close up and still a very mineral soil composed of rubble and alluvium from the Combe de Lavaux. Dry and firm, the tannins are fully ripe and there's lift and purity. Drinking range: 2023 - 2030 L&S (Oct 2020)

Domaine Huguenot
The Huguenots can trace their history in Marsannay and working in the vines back to 1789. Currently the domaine is run by Philippe. His father Jean-Louis expanded the domaine from five to twenty-two hectares (twelve in Marsannay, six in Fixin, and four in Gevrey) before handing over the reins. Philippe took the bold step of taking the whole domaine into organic production (the conversion was completed in 2010), but immensely sadly he was forced to do a single non-organic treatment in 2016, because of the terrible conditions, so he was back to square one - three years to re-qualify for the organic label. Nevertheless Philippe, although initially unsure if he would try for the certification again was not planning to change the way he works - it is, he assures us, better for him and the environment and and his workers as well as for quality. So he fought his way back, and the wines have been certified organic again since 2019. Philippe now has 23 hectares in production.
THE LUXURY CHRISTMAS MIXED CASE
Here's everything that you need to see you through several days of festivities, in quite some style. Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux, Top Flight Burgundy, Vintage Grand Cru Champagne, Old Vine Barolo and Vintage Port are just a few of the treasures contained in this superlative dozen.
⭐Will you find our 'Golden Ticket'?⭐
What's more, every case purchased is a chance to find the 'Golden Ticket'. Rather than a tour of our wine storage facilities, Charles Lea's golden ticket is much more exciting: a bottle of 2011 Alzero from the revered Quintarelli.
This £300 bottle of wine is utterly unique. Made by Quintarelli, who make some of the most sought after wine in Veneto, it is a blend of Bordeaux grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, but made in the Ripasso method, made famous by Amarone, in which grapes are dried on straw matts prior to fermentation. The result is something incredibly silky, rich and hedonistic which will be a wonderful centrepiece for any festive feast.
There are just 10 of these Golden Ticket cases available, so a tantalisingly high chance of winning this special bottle.
