HICKS & DON CLARET - As featured in The Saturday Telegraph 31st July 2010


We are delighted that the wine Jonathan Ray has most enjoyed drinking this week is our Hicks & Don Claret.


"A great-value house Claret, with cutting-a-dash magnums also available at a cheering £16.30. With ample but well-checked fruit and silky smooth tannins, it is quintessential Claret, complete with those typical hints of cedarwood and pencil shavings. Despite the modest price it's worth decanting and is best served with the Sunday roast or slow-cooked belly of pork." Jonathan Ray, Saturday Telegraph 31st July 2010.



We believe the essence of Claret is the refreshing bite and restrained fruit which make it such a good accompaniment to food, especially red meat such as lamb and beef. Some, such as the current Claret Hicks & Don, are supple enough to be enjoyed by themselves but, however you decide to drink it, here is a wine offering character and good value for money. Well worth decanting.

Corbières Blanc Chateau la Bastide 2008 -
As featured by Jonathan Ray in the Saturday Telegraph 4th September 2010 in his article "10 top wines from 10 top independent wine sellers"


"Hicks & Don in Dorset boast no fewer than three Masters of Wine on their team, a fact borne out by the quality of their wine-buying. I recommended H&D's fine house claret the other week and also really enjoyed this blend of roussanne (mainly), bourboulenc and vermentino from Corbières in the Languedoc.


With soft, creamy, peachy fruit and a long finish, it has bags of character and is great with chicken and creamy tarragon sauce." Jonathan Ray, Saturday Telegraph.




"This intriguing blend of Roussanne, Bourboulenc and Vermentino has produced a peachy spiciness on the nose and a fleshy texture on the palate, backed by an acidity that suits the style well and a light touch of tannin to firm it up. Ideal to accompany fish or white meat in sauces with a touch of richness to them." Anthony Barne MW.
