Hit all the right notes this Christmas

Preparing your Christmas feast

For a gentle beginning to your celebrations, there is nothing better than a soft and fruity wine such as a classic Bordeaux AOC. These are light wines that evoke simplicity, with broad appeal. They are aged in vats to bring out the fruity lightness and tannin textures, giving the wine its unique structure and taste.

The aperitif

To complement your aperitif, why not start with a soft white wine such as a Bordeaux Supérieur or Premières Côtes de Bordeaux? Made from well-ripened grapes, the subtly sweet and fruity taste provides a rich and complex flavour to accompany a light appetiser. These wines are best served chilled at 10°c.

The meal

There’s nothing better with your main course than a white wine from the Bordeaux vineyards of the Pessac-Léognan, Graves or Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux appellations. These wines deliver a rich and full taste, ideal for meats, fish, and even your favourite cheeses too.

Dessert

Bring some festive bubbles and fizz to your celebrations! To end your meal in style we recommend a sparkling wine such as a white Crémant de Bordeaux. The punchy acidity counterbalances a sweet dessert for a delightful thirst-quenching partnership.
