PARTY AND SWIG with carefree abandon with our perennial store favourite:  Adria Vini Durello Spumante Brut Palazzi NV (£9.25).Venture into the world of groovy organics with Terre dei Buth Frizzante (£10.00) & Rose NV (£11.00) both frothy, fun takes from the land (and grapes) of Prosecco. Get a bit more serious with Domaine du Landreau Crémant de Loire Brut NV (£17.50) or the Organic DOCG Proseccos of Case Paolin, acclaimed “the best Prosecco I have ever Tasted” by one of our sommelier clients in Mayfair. Don’t leave Spain out the equation with some Cava in the shape of Francesc Ricart Cava Brut NV (£12.50) which tastes as good as it looks.

A little glass of something to start your CHRISTMAS DAY? Castello di Tassarolo Gavi Frizzante ‘Spinola’ NV (£17.00)is light, delicate and biodynamic, or a classic glass of low alcohol (5%) Moscato maybe? Head straight for the Araldica Alasia Moscato D’Asti 2022 (£9.50)or the Michelin endorsed Saracco Moscato d’Asti 2023 (£17.00).

 

No matter what time we decide to BREAK OUT THE CHAMPAGNE we have over 120 to choose from. From our favourite co-operative, CL de la Chapelle Brut Instinct Champagne 1er Cru NV (£28.00) has flown out to homes and restaurants all year and thankfully our next tranche lands just in time from the winery 20th December. We are long term champions of grower Champagnes and Larmandier Bernier is never far away from our top picks every year; Chardonnay elegance and precision from biodynamic fruit. Also working in tune with the planet the Laherte Frères range of organic single plot wines offer a real vinous personality. Try the Larmandier-Bernier Latitude Extra Brut NV (£49.00) or Laherte Frères Extra-Brut Ultradition NV (£42.00).

When a Grande Marque is called for (and it will be) then this year has been all about the ever evolving Louis Roederer Brut Collection. Grab your favourite from the range. SHOP ALL CHAMPAGNE

Vintage and deluxe cuvées abound for that SPECIAL CELEBRATORY GLASS. Needing no introduction, the Krug Grande Cuvee 171 Edition (£215.00), Dom Perignon Vintage – Gift Boxed 2012 (£225.00) and the top cuvées from our Growers – Laherte Frères Les 7 (Solera 2005-2018) NV (£93.00), (rarity composed of all 7 permitted varieties) & Larmandier-Bernier Rose de Maturation 2014 (£115.00) – 100% Pinot Noir like fine Burgundy.

Special mention this year goes to 100% PINOTS, both as rosé and blancs de noir. These not only drink superbly, with a curve of delicious red fruit character, but are also a great foil to foods and nibbles like smoked salmon. Blancs de noirs (literally white wines made from red) Bollinger PNTX17, (£75.00) Laherte Frères Les Longues Voyes Blanc de Noirs 1er Cru 2018 (£70.00) and top rosés.

Lots of BIG FORMATS around too for sharing with the nearest and dearest Laherte Frères Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 150cl (£95.00), CL de la Chapelle Ecrin 1er Cru Brut NV 150cl (£62.00) (to name but two) and classic Italian sparkling by way of Ferghettina Franciacorta.
