Festive Splendour Case
£164.85£150.00 More info & buy Start the day in style with a glass of Brut NV Champagne from Domaine Barons de Rothschild. This rich and beautifully balanced Champagne offers a creamy mouthfeel with a long nutty finish. The vast majority of the fruit comes from Grand Cru parcels and that's clearly evident in the quality. After a glass of Champagne, Baronne Charlotte, a dry white Graves seems like the obvious choice. This classical blend of Semillion and Sauvignon Blanc delivers minerality and layers of citrus peel and toast. Staying in Bordeaux, the next wine that naturally follows Baronne Charlotte would be Reserve Pauillac 2014 - this elegant blend of Merlot and Cabernet shows off an enticing yet relaxed nose of earthy spice and black fruit. From this point onward the intensity steps up a little; Los Vascos Grande Reserve brings together perfectly ripe fruit, layers of spice, cocoa and smoke. The penultimate wine can be lovingly referred to as 'a bit of a beast' - it's full bodied, intense, very powerful yet soft and rounded. There's nowhere to go after a wine of such magnitude, apart from Port or maybe brandy. with that in mind, you'll be thankful we've included a bottle of Fonseca crusted Port. This wine benefits from a gentle decanting, but patience will be rewarded. After an hour in the decanter this port boasts notes of blueberry, spice, eucalyptus and cocoa. for further details please see the links below Rothschild Champagne Brut NV, Reims, Champagne Pauillac Special Reserve 2014, A.C.

Fonseca Crusted Port, bottled in 2015, Oporto Portugal
£22.00 More info & buy The port is matured for a short time in barrel and then rested in the bottle for three years prior to release. During this period the sediment, which is always unfiltered, forms a crust in the bottle. Therefore giving you a "vintage character" without a vintage price tag. The complexity and layers of flavours are truly stunning. The rich characters of sweet blueberry and raisin are followed by subtle eucalyptus notes and a marzipan finish. Due to the youthfulness of this Port, decanting will indeed help develop flavours, but it is not vital as a 'crust' has yet to form. -
