RED CHRISTMAS DAY CASE
Domaine Carneros Avant Garde Pinot Noir
Domaine Carneros was established in 1987, a joint venture between Champagne Taittinger and Kobrand Corporation, one of the foremost players in the U.S wine industry. This impressive venture was a fulfilment of Claude Taittingers dream after he visited the Carneros region and realised its potential to produce world class sparkling and still Pinot Noir wines. Exceptionally aromatic, this wine features aromas of fresh pomegranate followed by a bowl of sweet cherries, red currants, warm oak, and cinnamon. The palate presents exuberant flavours of juicy black cherries and raspberry, dark chocolate with a hint of savoury tobacco leaf.
Domaine Les Crus Du Sud Gigondas
On the lower reaches of the rocky limestone Dentelles du Montmirail, the higher and cooler vineyards of Gigondas can produce reds which add a welcome mineral structure to generous southern Rhône Grenache. This highly-regarded Cru was sanctioned in 1971. One of the higher southern Rhône appellations (along with Vaqcueras and Beaumes de Venise) Gigondas was, in 1971, the first Cotes du Rhone Villages appellation to be awarded Cru status. Garrigue aromas with a slight mint note on the nose. Silky and balanced, with good fruit character and ripe tannins. Generous and rich, this wine has a deep, dark cherry core. Chocolatey notes lead through to a plush, subtly sweet-spiced finish.
Chateau La Rose Trimoulet Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
Château La Rose Trimoulet is a family-owned Saint-Émilion Grand Cru property situated on the limestone and clay slopes surrounding Saint-Émilion. Managed by Jean-Claude Brisson, the estate focuses on producing approachable, terroir-driven wines that express the character of this prestigious Right Bank appellation. With a relatively small vineyard and careful attention to quality, Château La Rose Trimoulet crafts classic Saint-Émilion wines that balance ripe fruit, structure and elegance. A richly flavoured Saint-Émilion with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum and blackberry, complemented by subtle spice and vanilla from oak ageing. The palate is concentrated yet elegant, with supple tannins, good freshness and a long, harmonious finish.
Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre
The Allegrini family estate comprises 120 hectares of vineyard in the heart of Valpolicella Classico. Although the family has grown grapes here for several centuries, Giovanni Allegrini was the first to start bottling wines from the familys vineyards. Allegrini uses the modern version of the traditional 'ripasso' technique for Palazzo della Torre, drying a proportion of the grapes in the 'Terre di Fumane' drying centre to intensify the character of this vineyard. On the nose, this wine reveals distinct notes of berries, aromatic herbs, spices and vanilla. The textured palate is underpinned by sweet, polished tannins that linger on the long and intriguing finish.
Errazuriz Villa
Errazuriz’s philosophy is best expressed by Don Maximiano who said, “From the best land, the best wine.” Vina Errazuriz believe in the concept of ‘terroir’ and strive to produce the finest wines by controlling every stage of the winemaking process, from grape growing in the Aconcagua and Casablanca valleys, to winemaking with the most natural techniques. An emphasis is placed on the delicate handling of the wines, with the aim of producing wines with elegance and complexity. The nose offers aromas of fresh rose petals, pomegranate, strawberry and raspberry together with soft notes of tobacco and cinnamon. Flavours of fresh red fruits, dominated by raspberry and pomegranate emerge in the mouth. The palate unveils a texture reminiscent of chalk, with delicate tannins, framed by an excellent acidity that accentuates the wine's vertical and fresh character together with an excellent persistence.
Bodegas Luis Canas Seleccion De La Familia Rioja Reserva
In 1970 Luis Cañas changed two hundred years of tradition and became the first winemaker in Rioja Alavesa to bottle his young wine rather than sell it as bulk. This bold move, and his continued pioneering spirit, has cemented the winery's enviable reputation as one of the most progressive in the region. One of only a handful of wines in Rioja that contains Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a stylish, well-judged blend of the Bordeaux grape with 85% Tempranillo. Graphite and blackcurrant leaf aromas add an extra dimension to the red berry and bramble fruit here framed by equal proportions of French and American oak.
