Domaine Hugo

“The vineyard is part of an organic mixed farm which has been in the family for five generations. I gained a lot of my wine making knowledge first from Paul Old, when he and I set up Les Clos Perdus, and more recently from Daniel Ham. Myself and Daniel are always challenging every aspect of wine growing and making. I want to give Daniel the highest quality fruit possible, year on year, and for our wines to be exceptional and full of character.” – Hugo Stewart

In the year 2016, Hugo planted the three Champagne varieties on the chalky soils in Wiltshire, and by 2018, he had the yield required for his first vintage.

“Subtle zesty green apple flesh, orchard fruits, nice citrus notes. Zesty green citrus characters, notes of well baked pastry, limes and lemon zest, green apples, and orchard fruits.” – Glass of Bubbly
