HALF-PRICE

ORDER BY 21st DECEMB E for guarantee R Christmas de d livery

family-estate Champagne Crafted by the Bauchel family, Champagne growers since 1920, Comtesse de Bellefleur Grande Reserve offers a fine mousse, subtle brioche notes and long aromatic finish. Following last year’s hugely successful ‘half-price’ launch, the Bauchels have agreed to repeat the offer again this Christmas. As the family owns 35 hectares of vines in the prestigious Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims regions, they can monitor their Champagne’s development from vine to bottle. The extra depths of richness and complexity are thanks to a high percentage of Pinot Noir and extended bottle maturation. And with an elegant structure and long lively finish, it’s a top choice for festive celebrations.

VEUVE CLICQUOT

LAURENTPERRIER

dom pérignon 2004

Legendary Veuve Clicquot is a byword for excellence and known to all, thanks to its unique, eye-catching label. Its high percentage of Pinot Noir and long ageing on lees makes for a deliciously rich and full-flavoured style. A favourite among our customers too who agree “it’s worth every penny”.

Thanks to impeccable freshness and lightness of touch, LaurentPerrier has a long established reputation as the connoisseur’s Champagne. Particularly appreciated for its elegance and refined, “Chablis-like mineral character” (Hugh Johnson).

If Champagne is a luxury, a bottle of Dom Pérignon is pure hedonism and something most people would love the chance to enjoy. There is a finesse, complexity and depth of flavour here that sets it far apart from its rivals. An especially indulgent and memorable Christmas gift.

BEST-EVER VINTAGE Cru Classé CLARET Château Lynch-Moussas 2009 is a classic, beautifully structured claret from Pauillac, the Haut-Médoc village that’s also home to the great 1st growths, Châteaux Latour, Mouton and Lafite. What wine lover would not be over the moon to receive this fine bottle as a gift?

Our top choice cru classé

Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme in this neck of the Bordeaux vineyards and stamps its trademark blackcurrant character on this beautifully crafted, oak-aged wine. Legendary critic Robert Parker writes “the creme de cassis of Pauillac is well-displayed in this mediumbodied, elegant, richly fruity wine” and goes on to say it will drink well for 15 or more years. This outstanding claret will delight any fine wine lover from this Christmas onwards.

Presented in a wooden gift box with tasting notes from eminent wine writer Hugh Johnson

A note on the vintage Never in the history of Bordeaux has there been a year to compare with the brilliance of 2009. Robert Parker calls it “unquestionably the greatest vintage I have ever tasted”. The Lynch-Moussas 2009 is arguably this château’s finest ever release.

FRANCE

This reads like a wish list of iconic wines – rich Blanc de Noirs Champagne, Italy’s classic white Gavi, flinty-dry Sancerre and creamy white Burgundy for starters. Alongside you’ve a rare Australian Vermentino. The reds are mouthfilling and smooth. Fragrant Rioja joins Gold medal Côtes-du-Rhône and the majestic Zonte’s Footstep Shiraz. Claret is a must at Christmas and Le Grand Chai’s Château du Tertre Belair is a wine of exceptional finesse. To round off, Andresen’s LBV Port and a half bottle of deliciously sweet Semillon provide that extra touch of decadence. Any seasoned wine lover will recognise this as an amazingly generous gift.
