Best Wines With Turkey This Christmas
We all know that our feathery new world friend can emerge from the furnace a touch on the bland side. The old bird's silver lining is a free rein when it comes to wine pairing. Whites or reds make excellent matches, particularly those that are packed with flavour. Sparkling wine should not be overlooked either, especially those in richer styles. When contemplating this slightly bewildering array of options, it pays to consider what you're eating alongside the turkey. A rich gravy, a complex stuffing, various porky accoutrements, sweeter root vegetables, cranberries, sprouts (eek!) - they all change the game when it comes to wine pairing..
Mix and match any dozen bottles to get case price.

2020 MARSANNAY Héritage Domaine Huguenot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.2% Red
Pinot Noir.
Rich volume on the attack, and then the freshness of the vintage comes behind, tightening the tannins on the finish.

2019 VIRÉ-CLESSÉ Sélection EJ Thévenet Domaine de la Bon Gran
Mâconnais Burgundy France 14.5% White
Chardonnay.
The 2019 Viré-Clessé had just been racked on my visit, therefore there was so much gas in this wine, as expected. Nevertheless, there is already fine balance and harmony, a keen line of acidity with a lovel...(read more)

GONET-MÉDEVILLE Blanc de Noirs Brut 1er Cru NV
Champagne France 12.5% White
Pinot Noir.
100% Pinot Noir, 90% being from Bisseuil, and 10% from Ambonnay. Ripe grapes means that this wine has quite a deep colour, almost oeuil-de-perdrix. Very fine and persistent bubble, full-flavoured with good acidity to giv...(read more)

2022 CHACRA Cincuenta y Cinco '55' Pinot Noir Bodega Chacra
Rio Negro Patagonia Argentina 12.0% Red
Pinot Noir.
Named after the year (1955) when the vineyard was planted, this wine was aged in used barrels, amphorae and concrete. Rather than jumping from the glass it dances in it, weaving cherry with violets, rose petals and ripe...(read more)

2020 CONDRIEU Chéry Domaine Rémi Niero
Northern Rhône Rhône France 14% White
Viognier.
'My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer day' I'm pretty sure Stevie Wonder penned this song sitting high above the village of Condrieu with a glass of Niero Chéry. It would be easy to make the leap, the 2020 is all f...(read more)

2021 CHACRA Cincuenta y Cinco '55' Pinot Noir Bodega Chacra
Rio Negro Patagonia Argentina 12% Red
Pinot Noir.
The élevage for the 2021 Cincuenta y Cinco was different from the past; they have now aged 40% in concrete tanks (it used to be 25%), 40% in French oak barrels and 20% in clay amphorae for nine months. They use co...(read more)

2016 POMMARD 1er Cru Charmots Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.5% Red
Pinot Noir.
Thump - in contrast to the Vergers. This is immediately much firmer. Really lovely fruit, but you can sense the toast here, a good spiced edge. More darkness, black baked damson and more intense, a touch of more bitter f...(read more)
