The Christmas Offer
Welcome to the 2025 Christmas Offer
I am delighted to share with you our Christmas offer for 2025, with an exciting range of sparkling, white, red, sweet and fortified wines. Whether you are stocking up on wine before guests arrive, are buying gifts for colleagues or simply want some excellent bottles in the house throughout December, look no further!
For the second year in a row, we’ll be offering our red, white and Christmas mixed cases, so if you like a little bit of everything then they are the perfect option.
Finally, there is a large format section, including magnums of our house Bordeaux claret a steal at £30 each, and the show-stopping centrepiece of a Jeroboam of Louis Jadot’s Beaune 1er Cru Celebration cuvee, arriving in a splendid bottle and original wooden case, the perfect gift or ideal for a large gathering.

Halkidiki, Akrathos Xinomavro, 2020
Similar to Italian nebbiolo, Greek Xinomavro is having a moment. This super offering from an organically cultivated vineyard located at altitude on the eastern slopes of Mount Cholomon is just a short distance from the Aegean Sea. Expressive & complex with cherry, blackberry, sweet spice & vegetal notes, this is opulent stuff.
CVNE, Imperial Reserva, 2019
Imperial is arguably the finest producer of Rioja in the world, and the Reserva 2019 demonstrates that world-beating wines needn’t empty your wallet, too! I adore this wine, which is full, dense and velvety with flattering oak spice. The Reserva is deep in colour, perfumed, and full of generosity and spice. Perfect with beef & game.
Jaboulet, Crozes-Hermitage, Thalabert, 2021
One of the wine trade’s hidden secrets, Thalabert is brilliant value red with real panache. The silken palate is replete with black cherries, black olives & searing minerality. This is a totally exquisite red Rhône and well worth stocking up on as it is only available to us in a very small parcel of cases.
Sanford, ‘Sanford & Benedict’ Pinot Noir, 2021
One of the finest Pinot Noirs I sampled in 2025. The nose is electric, with crunchy red fruits, wild strawberry, raspberry, blood orange, rosehyp, red cherry & red plum. A kaleidoscopic palate gives bite & punch, with ripe, red fruit. With superb structure & persistence, this is Chambolle-Musigny-beating for a quarter of the price.
