The perfect Christmas centrepiece.
The festive period is a time to get together with old friends, to open a bottle and let the good times pour. Make this an event to remember with our Fine Wine Duo, featuring a superb Sancerre from Domaine Laporte and Brunello di Montalcino from lauded producer Il Poggione.
"A fabulous example of Italy's most famous red wine, from an exceptional producer. Sumptuous black cherry fruit character on the nose, followed by fragrant hay, dried cranberry, dried cherry and kirsch. Underneath these, subtle nuances of creamy milk chocolate, truffle, violet, cracked pepper and seared steak emerge gradually. In the mouth, it has fabulous, velvety texture, with great richness from the well-ripened tannins, no shortage of flavour to plump it out and crisp acidity providing freshness and balance. This is absolutely delicious to drink already, although 15 minutes in the decanter before serving will help bring out its best. The wine's concentration, tannin structure, fine balance and brilliant track record also suggest it will cellar well, so be sure to order enough to keep you going for a decade!"
"Le Grand Rochoy is made exclusively from the oldest vines on a 2.5 hectare plot on the Domaine du Rochoy hillside. This is unique in the region of Sancerre for its flinty soil, which soaks up heat in the daytime and slowly re-radiates it at night. This wine is a pure and elegant expression of its origin, and reveals an elegance and character quite unlike any other. It has exceptional keeping potential, of up to 10 years from vintage. "
