C HR I STMAS 2023 “The most important thing in life is to stop saying ‘I wish’ and start saying ‘I will’, consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities…” Which is a reasonably pithy way of suggesting that you stop thinking about Christmas and understand that our little team has laboured relentlessly, tirelessly and with utter devotion and absolute commitment to bring you our best Christmas offering yet, making that transition of ‘I wish’ into ‘I will’ as silkily smooth as possible. We hope you like the theme of this offer, in particular the chance to come to our tastings, our shops and speak to real people who actually want to help you (or, of course, order online if that melts your butter). We are just a delivery away. Have a very splendid Christmas and thank you so much for all the support that you have shown this year.

S PA R K L I NG Add some festive sparkle There is nothing more satisfying than the rewarding ‘pop’ when uncorking a bottle of fizz. Synonymous with celebration, Christmas wouldn’t be the same without a few bottles (or magnums) of Champagne and Sparkling Wines. Whether you’re planning an outdoor soirée, a cosy evening indoors with friends, or simply seeking the perfect apéritif to kickstart your festivities, these wines are the essential Christmas companion. Discover Jura with Tissot Maire’s subtle Crémants or savour the refined style of Le Colture Prosecco, produced from stunningly steep hillsides. Champagne lovers will revel in the vibrancy of J.M Labruyère’s Prologue, a Pinot Noir dominant blend with bags of character. Those with a penchant for Blanc de Blancs will delight in Champagne Delamotte’s masterful 2014 vintage expressing white flower scents and fresh pâtisserie flavours. With our home-grown sparklers standing toe-to-toe with the very best in the world, why not try Ambriel Blanc de Blancs 2017, an ode to West Sussex, or luxuriate in one of Peter Hall’s exquisite cuvées from Breaky Bottom.

It could be a scene straight out of a Christmas card – if only we could guarantee snow falling outside! To complete the scene, however, there is just one thing left to do – open that special bottle of red. We’ve whittled down our extensive wine range to showcase the perfect winter warmers for the festive period ahead – an eclectic range sure to bring delight. Amongst the timeless classics of Bordeaux’s Right Bank such as Mitjavile and Moueix wines, we have some other fine discoveries for you to explore. Domaine des Hauts Châssis makes a supple and smooth Syrah from stony terraces in the Northern Rhône whilst Joostenberg’s Klippe Kou, our newest South African find, has a savoury and smoky edge to its brambly black fruit.

Seductive black fruit, cracked pepper and spice. An elegant rather than powerful Syrah, more akin to the Northern Rhône than much of the ‘New World’.

Mostly Cabernet Franc with a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon, lending a dark-fruited, graphite edge to this upbeat, mineral red, lifted by zesty acidity.

WHITE Dreaming of a White Christmas Dining tables represent a veritable smörgåsbord throughout the Christmas period – brimming with platters that are laden with trimmings. To cope with the variety of food, you need wines that are agile, versatile and nimble on their feet… For a selection of bottles that can go the distance throughout the festive feasting and continue to impress with their drive and dynamism as you require a lie-down, whites are the answer. Bright and zippy wines are the ideal foil to smoked salmon’s oily richness – try ‘Moulin de la Justice’ Muscadet Sèvre et Maine from Domaine Julien Braud for Loire Valley freshness, or the vivid fruit flavours of Thanisch Riesling Kabinett. For roast turkey, Chardonnay’s creamy fruit and racy acidity make a superb match – select the ripe peach and pastry flavours of Domaine de la Jobeline’s Mâcon-Villages; the elegant and expressive Elephant Hill Chardonnay with its toasty kiss of oak; or the bold fruit and flicker of sweet spice of Cakebread Chardonnay from Napa Valley.

M AG N U M S Centrepieces that keep the wine flowing The equivalent of two bottles, magnums make a festive statement and will let your guests know that they are in for a good time. Making for an impressive Christmas dining table centrepiece, these bottles are the ideal size for sharing. If you’re hosting this year, kick off proceedings with the perfect aperitivo – Pianer Prosecco, meticulously crafted by sparkling wine experts Le Colture. Perfect with a roast, Barrail du Blanc Grand Cru St-Émilion is a longstanding C&B favourite packed with plush, plummy fruit draped in velvety tannins. Or impress your guests with Ridolfi’s layered and complex Brunello di Montalcino. Alternatively, consider a magnum as a tremendous gift for any wine lover. Due to their larger size, magnums are widely regarded as an excellent format for maturing wine – the amount of oxygen in the neck is roughly equivalent to the amount found in a standard-sized bottle, but there is twice the liquid, meaning the wine in a magnum ages more slowly and gracefully.

A magnum of fizz is a real showstopper, so push the boat out with the Ruggeri family’s ‘premier cru’ Prosecco from the exceptional Pianer vineyards.
Fresh and floral with silky purity of the Friuli region. Ripe grapefruit and melon are deftly balanced with elegant acidity and laced with fines herbes.
The best gifts come in… large packages! With its gentle, ripe pear fruit and light creamy texture, this classic White Burgundy is a delight.
A refined example of Muscadet’s top ‘cru’ from this talented young producer. From low-yielding vines and having undergone extensive lees ageing, this is an expressive and textural white.

From Kues, on the left bank of the Mosel. Delicate, airy aromas of lime and pepper herald a supple, pliant palate of white peach and lemon zest.

Barrail du Blanc, or “Barry White”, is a C&B staff favourite and is everything you could ever expect from a Grand Cru St-Émilion without breaking the bank.
There is a dense berried character to this dark, mineral-etched Beaujolais – the fruit of old vines from five special parcels at Domaine Labruyère.
An absolute bullseye from this up-and-coming Brunello estate. Lifted, aromatic red berries combine beautifully with notes of warm Christmas spices.

P U DDI NG W I N ES Christmas Alchemy Often an afterthought, sweet wines are just too good to play a supporting role on the big day. These delicious drinks display a masterclass of balance, combining luscious sweetness with mouthwatering acidity. Made using a variety of methods and demonstrating a range of styles, these wines are a testament to the art of viticulture and winemaking. Packing a riot of aromas, flavours and textures into a bottle, sweet wines are a marvellous match for Christmas cake and pudding, chocolatey desserts or a fabulous companion to cheese. Our Corney & Barrow Sauternes and Joostenberg Estate’s Noble Late Harvest Chenin Blanc are made using grapes affected by ‘Botrytis’ – a fungus that can be so devastating in nature, harnessed here to produce something magnificent. Think flavours of candied orange, crème brûlée and ginger. Whereas the beguiling nutty caramel and spiced notes of Corney & Barrow’s 20-year-old Tawny Port is achieved through fortifying a base wine before extensive but gentle barrel ageing – a Christmas staple!
