Comte de Baulieu 2018, Haut-Médoc
Comte de Baulieu 2018, Haut-Médoc
£17.99
Second wines like this are a bit of an insider secret. Savvy claret lovers know that these wines use grapes from the younger vines of top châteaux – so they’re great quality, but a fraction of the price of their flagship wines. This is from Château Ramage la Batisse, a top Cru Bourgeois estate close to Pauillac’s Château Mouton Rothschild. Unlike typical clarets which are aged in oak, this is made exclusively in stainless steel and concrete vats. The lack of oak keeps the wine bright and fresh. Expect flavours of briar fruit and plum that pair brilliantly with grilled lamb chops.

Drappier Premier Cru Champagne
Christmas, Christmas CellarIt’s a household name in France. But Drappier is still a relatively well-kept secret on this side of the Channel. The house is 200 years old, with some of the oldest and most extensive cellars in Europe. They’re the only ones to have survived unscathed through the world wars and the fires which swept the region soon after. But they don’t rest on their history. They have a forward-thinking approach based on sustainability, making carbon-neutral fizz. It’s from Premier Cru vineyards that are consistently rated as some of the very best in the region. Fresh and intense, it tastes of pear and vanilla. It’s the perfectly plush glassful for fans of rich, toasty Champagne.£39.99 -

Château Marzy Pomerol 2014
Christmas, Christmas Cellar, Red, ValentinesBordeaux Pomerol wines are rich, decadent reds, with notes of chocolate, dark cherry, plums and spice, soft tannins and elegance courtesy of the Merlot grape. The most lush—and expensive—wines come from a plateau of clay, gravel and iron, while lighter, more acidic wines come from the region's sandy soils. Situated on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, Pomerol is dominated by small estates that command premium prices. Approximately 80 percent of the region's plantings are Merlot, unlike other regions of Bordeaux where no one grape dominates so singularly; and one disadvantage is that bad weather can wreak havoc on an individual vintage.£49.99 -
