Ultimate Christmas Mixed Case<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

The Ultimate Christmas Mixed Case – a baker’s dozen in fact as half a bottle of sweet just wouldn’t be enough to complement this eminently drinkable\u00a0selection.\u00a0All of these wines have been tasted by us recently and are drinking extremely well, although there’s no rush so don’t worry if some get tucked away until next Christmas. Expect delivery in a smart L&S box with a corkscrew and one of our new illustrated tea-towels.<\/p>\n

\"2007-LEGRAS-Presidence-Vieilles-Vignes-Brut-Grand-Cru-Chouilly-R-L-Legras\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Grapes:<\/strong> Chardonnay\u00a0Village:<\/strong> Chouilly \u00a0Classification:<\/strong> Grand Cru
\n Origin:<\/strong> France ABV:<\/strong> 12%<\/p>\n

‘With a light dosage of just 5g\/l – this is a wonderfully fresh vintage champagne from Legras. Complex, lovely bright fruit – intense and with great mineral drive.’ L&S<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Grapes:<\/strong> Chardonnay\u00a0\u00a0Village:<\/strong> Chassagne Montrachet\u00a0Classification:<\/strong> 1er Cru

\nSub-district:<\/strong> C\u00f4te de Beaune\u00a0Vineyard:<\/strong> Grandes Ruchottes<\/p>\n

\n

‘Similar nose in many ways to the Vide Bourse, but even finer. Green fruit, very fat and opulent, all in a mineral, crystalline classiness. Wonderfully long.<\/em>‘\u00a0L&S<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2 x\u00a02009 MEURSAULT 1er Cru Genevri\u00e8res Domaine R\u00e9mi Jobard<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"2012-MEURSAULT-1er-Cru-Genevrieres-Domaine-Remi-Jobard\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Grapes:<\/strong> Chardonnay Village:<\/strong> Meursault \u00a0Classification:<\/strong> 1er Cru
\nOrigin:<\/strong> France, Burgundy ABV:<\/strong> 13.5%
\nSub-district:<\/strong> C\u00f4te de Beaune Vineyard:<\/strong> Genevri\u00e8res<\/p>\n

‘There is a ‘something else’ here, an inner glow, a kind of polish, a patina like a favourite bit of furniture polished for generations. Wax? Slightly sweet attack, the touch of sweetness persists, still tight, Spanish almonds, tantalising depth to the fruit, power on the finish, very complete and long. <\/em>‘\u00a0L&S<\/span> <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2 x\u00a02009 GEVREY CHAMBERTIN Domaine Thierry Mortet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Grapes:<\/strong> Pinot Noir \u00a0Colour:<\/strong> Red \u00a0Village:<\/strong> Gevrey Chambertin
\nOrigin:<\/strong> France, Burgundy\u00a0ABV:<\/strong> 13%
\nSub-district:<\/strong> C\u00f4te de Nuits<\/p>\n

‘Thierry’s village Gevrey, so much his biggest production, is fine, saline, fresh, ripe and with lots of volume – just lovely. A very complete, vinous, mineral wine which does not really have a particular fruit expression (there’s nothing shouting Gevrey cassis here) – it’s just too sophisticated for that. Great finesse of fruit and flavour. Well done!’<\/em>\u00a0L&S<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2 x\u00a02010 HERMITAGE Domaine Gilles Robin<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"2010-HERMITAGE-Domaine-Gilles-Robin\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Grapes:<\/strong> Syrah \u00a0Colour:<\/strong> Red \u00a0Village:<\/strong> Hermitage
\nOrigin:<\/strong> France, Rh\u00f4ne \u00a0ABV:<\/strong> 14%<\/p>\n

‘Second vintage of the new cuv\u00e9e of Hermitage from Gilles Robin. Deep in colour and packed with bright fruit. Sweet dense fruit and subtle fresh leathery notes abound and a crisp acidity keeps the wine from being at all heavy, in fact it is remarkably light on its feet for a wine with such concentration and length. Long future ahead.’<\/em>\u00a0L&S<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Grapes:<\/strong> Nebbiolo \u00a0Origin:<\/strong> Italy, Piedmont
\nABV:<\/strong> 14.5% \u00a0Vineyard:<\/strong> Brunate<\/p>\n

\u00a0‘Lovely nose of sweet lamb reduction, balsamic, leather, liquorice, red fruit and coffee. Palate is grippy lovely rich tannins, Earth, coffee, liquorice, meat juices, plums, mulberry with a delicious balsamic finish.’<\/em>\u00a0L&S<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nClassification:<\/strong> 1er Cru Class\u00e9 Origin:<\/strong> France, Bordeaux ABV:<\/strong>\u00a013.5%<\/p>\n

‘The Rabaud-Promis has a lovely bouquet with hints of dried honey, nutmeg and cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e blossoming in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening: a surfeit of botrytis here that vibrant mandarin and dried pineapple notes. There is a great sense of cohesion to this Rabaud-Promis with a long tail of spicy fruit on the finish.’<\/em>\u00a0L&S<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Backward nose. Very complete. Full. Lovely fruit and grip. Very stylish indeed. Very long on the palate. Very Dow. Very lovely. Very fine. from 2010.<\/em>’18\/20 The Vine, Clive Coates\u00a0MW<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
