Three wines chosen for the pleasure of a long Christmas dinner, from the first toast to another helping. Recaredo’s elegant bubbles set the occasion, Patrick Sullivan brings a textured Chardonnay, and Lapierre’s old-vine Morgon offers vibrant fruit and savoury depth. A festive trio made for opening, sharing and lingering over.
2020 Recaredo Relats Brut Nature (Penedes, Spain): Elegant sparkling wine with notes of brioche and yellow fruit, balanced by vibrant acidity. Aged for 32 months on its lees and made with zero dosage, it delivers both depth and freshness.
2025 Patrick Sullivan Chardonnay (Victoria, Australia): Lemon, lime and grapefruit meet white peach, toasted hazelnut and a touch of vanilla custard. Lively acidity and mineral freshness balance a creamy, satiny texture, a lovely match for roast poultry and rich festive sides.
2025 Marcel Lapierre Morgon Vieilles Vignes No SO2 (Beaujolais, France): Old-vine Gamay with vibrant fruit, savoury depth and the structure that defines Morgon. Open and generous in its youth, this expression is bottled without added sulphur, offering a bright, immediate take on Lapierre’s granitic vineyards.
Contains one bottle of each wine.
