Connoisseurs’ ColleCtion
This specially curated case is ideal for a sumptuous festive meal. Starting with Grand Cru Champagne to kick-off the evening, followed by a tour of France with a crisp Chablis 1er Cru and an elegant Sancerre from our top Loire producer. The medium-bodied Lagrange and bold Châteauneuf du Pape will be a wonderful accompaniment to your meat dishes. After a seducing Sauternes for pudding, what is better than a fine Warre’s vintage port for the fireside and cigars?

Here are our picks for the best wines to drink with your festive specialities
For smoked salmon and Caviar
For turkey
Champagne is the classic pairing with smoked salmon, with its high acidity to cut through the fattiness of the fish.
Which dish could be more popular than Turkey for the festive celebration? Full-bodied whites like Chardonnay and soft reds such as a Pinot Noir or Beaujolais Cru will complement this low-fat dish.

For ham
For roast BeeF
Ham is definitely another holiday favourite. The salty element of the ham is a good match with the slightly sweet Pinot Gris and the fruity Pinot Noir, but the sweet glazed ham will demand a sweeter wine, such as a medium sweet German Riesling.
Reds would be a better choice to match with this weightier dish. Shiraz and Brunello di Montalcino complement the rack of ribs well, while aged Bordeaux, with softer tannins, would work better with low-fat cuts.

For the Pudding
For traditional Christmas pudding, filled with raisins, currants and figs, Banyuls (a fortified wine) is an amazing option. Fruit-based Christmas cake would be delicious with sweet whites such as a late-harvest Riesling.

The Left-bank Second Wines from 2009 Case
“2009 is a more modern day vintage with a lusciousness, opulence and voluptuous, showy, flamboyant personality… they are a total joy to taste, so buy as much of these 2009s as you can. They are as good as Bordeaux can be.” - Robert Parker
