Perfect Easter Pairings

Ahead of the Easter weekend, read our blog post to find out the best wines to enjoy with your chocolate and to serve with your Easter lunch. Available to shop online or in-store.

1.

Sweet & Nutty

The Waddesdon raspberry & rose milk chocolate would pair well with the Thienot X Penfold Rose Champagne. This vibrant, elegant and crisp champagne has notes of raspberry, pistachio and Turkish delight, which would be delicious alongside the raspberry and rose flavours in the chocolate.

2.

The Waddesdon orange dark chocolate would pair nicely with the Poças Special Reserve Tawny Port. The port is complex and rich with notes of dried figs, warm nuts and caramel, which would complement the orange flavours in the chocolate.

3.

Minty & Fruity

The Waddesdon peppermint dark chocolate would be delicious with a glass of Los Vascos Cromas Gran Reserva Carmenere. Alongside layers of blackberry, plum and blueberry coulee, the wine has a lovely herbaceous note to it, which would mirror the minty flavours in the chocolate.

4.

Waddesdon Aviary chocolate eggs would pair with Henriques & Henriques Madeira Boal 10-year-old. The wine’s sweetness is balanced by high acidity and complex notes of nuts, caramel and dried-fruit, complementing the hazelnut praline and salted caramel chocolates beautifully.

5.

Vincent et Jean-Pierre Charton Derrière Sazenay

A light yet intense Pinot Noir with red fruit and floral notes. Incredibly elegant and refined, making it great with Lamb.

6.

Marques de Tomares Rioja Gran Reserva

A wine that is soft and smooth, but with a touch more intensity and more body than the Pinot Noir. The delicate spice and smoky notes, and soft tannins means that the wine envelopes the lamb.

7.

Thienot X Penfold Rose Champagne

A new Champagne from the Penfold’s brand. A delicate and refined mousse, with lots of raspberry and citrus notes, with underlying autolytic character, making this a perfect aperitif for Easter Sunday!
