Domaine des Bénédictins • Perle des Bénédictins • Blanc de Blancs • NV • Chardonnay • Loire Valley, France • Sparkling
Blanc de Blancs from Loire with a brilliantly Champagne-like character at a fraction of the price, making it the ideal tipple for the festive season. The Chardonnay grapes are directly-pressed and then vinified according to the Traditional Method, with fermentation taking place in stainless steel tanks and ageing on the lees. It's nutty and creamy with delicate bubbles and delicious notes of stone fruit and green herbs.
Koehler-Ruprecht Kallstadter • Riesling Kabinett Trocken • 2021 • Riesling • Pfalz, Germany • White
Stunning value in this chalky, waxy riesling, with attractive notes of orange peel and spiced, baked apple. The wine is produced from directly-pressed Riesling that is fermented with native yeasts in old oak casks, before being aged in large-format old barrels. Enough richness and opulence for the winter months, but with plenty of acidity to cut through.
Costador Metamorphika • Macabeu Brisat • 2022 • Macabeu • Catalonia, Spain • Orange
An original take on Macabeu, this weighty wine is produced from some stunning high-altitude vineyards, and comes in a highly gift-worthy ceramic bottle. The seventy-year-old vines are grown on soils rich in clay, limestone and quartz with the grapes undergoing a long maceration on the skins followed by ageing in clay amphora. Full-bodied, vibrant, and stony, with a real festive character in its notes of candied citrus peel and toffee apples.
Domaine Durrmann • Pinot Noir Gorge • 2023 • Pinot Noir • Alsace, France • Light Red
This crunchy, fresh and fruity Pinot Noir is a little lighter than Yann Durmann’s ordinary Pinot cuvée. The wine is produced from negociant grapes grown over sandstone and schist soils, and is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and bottled without any filtration, fining, or added sulphites. It benefits from a slight chilling, which allows it to explode like a summer fruit pudding, but with its mineral sophistication, it has enough edge to enjoy in colder months. Chill down or keep at room temp.
Domaine Charvin • Cotes du Rhone • 2021 • Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan • Vaucluse, France • Red
Sleek and spicy fruit and fresh acidity meld gloriously in this well-structured Cote du Rhone. Treated with the same care as the domaine’s Châteauneuf du Pape, with the whole-bunch grapes given twenty days of maceration before spending sixteen months in tank and bottling without filtration or finding. Easygoing and pure but with a brooding edge that makes it incredible value and ideal for winter dinner parties.
Clos Lapeyre • Jurançon Moelleux • 2022 • Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng • Jurançon, France • Sweet
Stunning sweet Jurançon with an oily texture and intense sweetness that’s beautifully balanced by the vibrant acids typically brought to the table by Petit Manseng. The grapes are picked extremely late and then left to dry out, before ageing for 18 months in oak casks. A luxurious wine that’s bursting with exotic spice and tropical fruit, and will make the ideal partner festive indulgence, whether that's alongside cheese or with pudding.
