Gerard Basset, who died in 2019, was one of the UKâs most respected wine identities. He was one of only three people in the world to become both a Master of Wine and a Master Sommelier; in 2011, he was made an OBE.
âGerardâs legacy is not just about the awards and achievements,â says his friend Lewis Chester. âItâs about the fact that he mentored so many people who are now important in the world of wine. Thatâs what he was really known for: helping people and doing things that will make a difference.â
