Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio

This is classic Pinot Grigio from Friuli made for us by Christian Patat at Nec Otium. Unoaked and expressing remarkable energy and freshness, the wine displays an attractive clarity, while still embodying the texture and tone expected of 100 percent Pinot Grigio. The nose hints at stone fruit and subtle florals, while the palate is textured and bright, with blossom notes, crisp acidity and fresh, ripe fruit.

Sunny and seductive, with aromas of pear, lychee and ripe citrus. The full, rich palate flirts with excess, but only flirts – there’s racy acidity throughout. Try this with oriental dishes or a Caribbean curry.

This elegant, floral cuvée hails from a parcel adjacent to Vosne-Romanée, and is one of the few that was spared from frost in 2016. The palate is not dense but delicate, combining spice, dark-fruit flavours, chalky tannins and lively acidity.

It's always a pleasure to taste the wines of Andre Ostertag. From the very modern, jazzy labels - explaining the essence of the wine to his biodynamic approach and initative production methods - these wines are crafted by a man who knows exactly what he is trying to achieve and is at the top of his game.
 
Early picking ensures no botrytisand so this is a bone dry white, barrel fermented with 50% new oak used. The carefully judged oak doesn't over power the rich fruit at all but it certainly imparts real texture and weight across the palate. There's also a wonderful streak of mineral acidity to provide freshness and the edginess I look for in a great Alsacian white. A very serious Pinot Gris which I would approach from 2016 onwards.

Chocolate can be something of a dam buster for many of us; a single square and the flood gates are open with will-power washed meekly away in favour of the immediate pleasure offered by gluttony. If this is the case and you are unable to resist the siren call of cacao, then why not fill your glass with something equally decadent and allow yourself to be swept up in it all?

The driver behind Humbrecht's Clos Windsbuhl wines is their acidity and the freshness it gives them, which makes this late harvest Pinot Gris a natural partner for all decadent chocolate permutations that even the most creative of minds (in the William Curley vein) might be able to concoct. Notes of honey and apricot combined with the aforementioned acidic backbone and it's hard to imagine life beyond dessert.
