Christmas French Classics Half Dozen Mixed Case

Description

1 x Pol Roger White Foil Brut Reserve Champagne
The definitive house-style, composed from 30 still base wines drawn from at least three vintages, and the three varieties of Champagne, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier blended in equal portions. The Pinot Noir comes from the villages of the Montagne de Reims and contributes body and character; the Chardonnay comes from Epernay itself and the Cote des Blancs and provides lightness and elegance; the Pinot Meunier comes from the Vallee de la Marne and provides youthfulness and vigour. The perfect aperitif champagne which is never released until it is at least three years old.

1 x Domaine Perraton Chrisalys Macon-Loche
This Macon-Loche is the result of blending two plots located at the bottom of the slope in the village of Loche, situated 3 km from Chaintre. Its clay-limestone terroirs, with very deep soil, rest on a vein of very hard limestone rock crossing the lower part of the Loche hill. Aged in stainless steel tanks, the wine reveals a bouquet of apricot, peach and dried fruits. Initially round and pleasing, the palate gradually becomes complex and structured, leading to a long and persistent finish with citrus flavours.

1 x Domaine Garnier et Fils Chablis
Proof that the 2021 vintage in Chablis has produced really classic steely wines. The soils of Maligny, Ligny et Villy make up, in order of importance, the blend for this Chablis where each commune brings its own character. The pale yellow with hints of green marks the arrival of Chablis , whilst the floral and cut grass aromas blend with chalky flintiness.

1 x Domaine Laurent Mouton Clos Jus Givry 1er Cru
Perhaps the most outstanding wine in Givry. Full of pure pinot noir black cherry fruit with spiciness derived from the oak. Drking well now but will hold. The perfect red with a simply roasted chicken.

1 x Chateau de Parenchere Cuvee Raphael Bordeaux
The Cuvee Raphael offers delicate aromas of ripe cherry and cassis on the nose. On the palate, the wine is harmonious; displaying power, structure and freshness all at once. The fruit is omnipresent and the tannins are present but very soft.

1 x Andre Mathieu Chateauneuf-du-Pape
The 9 hectares of vineyards used to make this cuvée are spread across several different terroirs within the appellation, producing the 13 grape varieties. Traditional winemaking methods and 12-14 months’ ageing in old “foudre” barrels give the wine a ruby-red colour with aromas of small red berries and spices. This is an elegant wine whose tannins integrate well with its rounded flavours.
