CHRISTMAS TREATS at Lea & Sandeman<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be carnage again in the supermarkets this Christmas, as they advertise eye-wateringly discounted prices for champagnes, whiskies, wines and just about anything else in an attempt\u00a0to draw customers in through the door. But can you really be fagged to traipse down the high street, fight the crowds, only to find that you did not read the small print which said \u2018limited to only six bottles per store\u2019 or \u2018 three bottles per customer\u2019?<\/p>\n

At Lea & Sandeman we only offer you what we think is the best quality and value, not simply the cheapest, and you can benefit from our discounted case\u00a0and offer prices even\u00a0when you put together your own mixed selection, as long as it is twelve bottles or more.<\/p>\n

What’s more we will deliver every order over \u00a3100 free of charge to your door!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the first of our seasonal drinking selections.<\/p>\n

CHRISTMAS FIZZ<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

JEAN-LOUIS DENOIS M\u00e9thode Traditionelle Chardonnay-Pinot Noir Brut <\/a>\u00a312.95 bottle<\/strong>
\nThe best alternative to champagne that we have tasted, and better than so many of the cheap supermarket offerings. ‘With its warm bread-and-honey nose this smells so much like champagne I had to double-check the label\u2019<\/em> Victoria Moore, The Daily\u00a0Telegraph<\/p>\n

Champagne BENEDICK Grand Reserve Brut<\/a> \u00a318.95 bottle<\/strong>
\nOur incredibly good value own label champagne. Still a\u00a0great\u00a0bargain under \u00a320.00<\/p>\n

Champagne BARNAUT Grande R\u00e9serve Brut Grand Cru Bouzy<\/a> \u00a322.95 bottle<\/strong>
\nMarginally less expensive than the cheaper Grandes Marques but much better than many by a good margin. Great value at \u00a322.95!<\/p>\n

Champagne OFFERS<\/a> : We have just added one of our absolute\u00a0favourite Grande Marque champagnes to our offers, \u00a0GOSSET Grande Reserve<\/a> \u00a337.95<\/strong> for a\u00a0real Christmas treat.<\/p>\n

CHRISTMAS WHITES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2010 VERMENTINO Domaine les Yeuses<\/a> \u00a36.50 bottle<\/strong>
\nEverybody needs a good, inexpensive white for every day glugging and this Italianate Vermentino from vineyards on the French Mediterranean coast is simply fantastic value (follow the link and read Victoria Moore\u2019s rather romantic take on it!).<\/p>\n

2010 CH\u00c2TEAU BEAUMONT BLANC Les Pierri\u00e8res 1er C\u00f4tes de Blaye<\/a> \u00a38.75 bottle<\/strong>
\nThis is a seriously good white Bordeaux which is fabulous all round drinking and gives all the similar New World Sauvignon\/Semillon blends a run for their money.<\/p>\n

2008 M\u00c2CON CHAINTR\u00c9 Pierres Polies Domaine Daniel Barraud<\/a> \u00a312.95 bottle<\/strong>
\nWhite Burgundy is never inexpensive, and if it is, it is\u00a0probably not worth drinking. The Barraud\u2019s are one of the Maconnais\u2019 top producers and this Macon gives \u2018serious bang for your buck<\/em> \u2019 according to the Winegang!<\/p>\n

CHRISTMAS REDS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2009 LE CLOS Domaine Sainte Eug\u00e9nie <\/a>\u00a37.75 bottle<\/strong>
\nDescribed by Jancis Robinson as \u2018Good house wine\u2019 this is a remarkably well made wine from the south of France for drinking on cold winter nights by an open fire (or in front of the telly!).<\/p>\n

2010 TOURAINE LES MARCOTTES Domaine de Pierre <\/a>\u00a39.25 bottle<\/strong>
\nEven if you think you don\u2019t like Gamay or Beaujolais, you will love this bright, crisp, juicy red from the Loire valley which offers a refreshing change, weighing in at only 12.5%.<\/p>\n

2008 THE DIRECTORS’ CUT Bordeaux Lea & Sandeman<\/a> \u00a311.95 bottle<\/strong>
\nLea & Sandeman Bordeaux has established a great following, but the seriously good and limited edition of \u2018Director\u2019s Cut\u2019 is something of a treat and coming to an end. Last chance to order before we sell out!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

SWEET TREAT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2006 CH\u00c2TEAU RAYNE VIGNEAU 1er Cru Class\u00e9 Sauternes<\/a> \u00a321.95 bottle<\/strong>
\nWe think that this classy Sauternes is a bit of a steal at this price, even it it is a sweet wine over \u00a320. However, it a is particularly good example of sauternes at its affordable best and drinks beautifully. Ideal with savoury dishes, such as Foie Gras, and sweeter ones such as Tarte Tatin or Cr\u00e8me Brulee.<\/p>\n

Make up your own MIXED CASE of 12 bottles<\/strong> of any of the above in any combination you like, and you will get the discounted price on each bottle \u2013 including the champagne offer prices.<\/p>\n

Any order over \u00a3100 placed\u00a0on-line this week-end (26th\/27th November) will also receive a FREE <\/strong>copy of Victoria Moore’s ‘How to Drink at Christmas’<\/a> – a great read and a great stocking filler!<\/span><\/p>\n

We now offer FREE DELIVERY on all orders over \u00a3100* (see our terms and conditions)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Last orders for guaranteed nationwide Christmas delivery \u2013 Sunday 18th<\/sup> December (although we will do our very best to deliver orders received after this date, especially in the Greater London area).<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
