Six Classics For Christmas – Bordeaux And Burgundy

To make your preparations for Christmas as easy as possible, we have chosen a selection of six classic fine wines from Bordeaux and Burgundy which we know you’ll enjoy. Perfect for drinking now, these wines would proudly grace any table at Christmas.

Starting with the whites, Domaine Sébastien Magnien in Meursault produces very elegant, refreshing whites which offer super value for money. His Saint-Romain Sous le Château comes from the best terroir in the appellation. Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange is one of the finest properties in Chassagne-Montrachet. Marc-Antonin Blain makes very complex wines that show great terroir expression and 2018 is a top-quality vintage for this domaine.

Moving to the reds, Domaine Valmengaux comes from gentle slopes near Fronsac on Bordeaux`s Right Bank. David and Valérie Vallet follow organic methods and make gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon based wines aged in large foudres. On the other side of the mighty Gironde river, neighbouring Calon-Ségur, Chȃteau Capbern produces classic Saint-Estèphe wines with ample dark fruit. The 2015 is ‘a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next decade’ says Antonio Galloni. Les Charmes de Kirwan is the second wine of Chateau Kirwan Grand Cru. Approachable earlier than the Grand Vin, this is a very classy claret. Lastly, Domaine Joseph Roty from Burgundy has been in the same family since 1710. Pierre-Jean produces finely crafted Pinot Noirs from some of the oldest vines in the region and this 2017 Marsannay couldn’t be more delicious.

Available for immediate delivery at these special, inc. duty and VAT prices until 12th December while stocks last. Excluding delivery and a minimum order of 6 bottles. We look forward to hearing from you.
