Christmas dinner is the most important meal of the year, so we decided to leave the wine selection to an expert. We asked Adam Byatt, Chef Patron of the Michelin-starred Trinity in Clapham, to choose the six wines he will be serving on his own table this Christmas.
Adam has curated a complete 'Christmas Day Timeline' in a box, covering every moment from the morning cork pop to the final mince pie .
The Morning Celebration: The day begins with the Gonet-Médeville Blanc de Noirs, a grower Champagne that Adam selects for that essential 'celebration time' when you first wake up.
The Starters: For the table, Adam has chosen two stunning whites. Ideally paired with smoked salmon, the 2022 Anjou 'Ronceray' from Château de Plaisance offers a saline crispness. Alternatively, for a classic prawn cocktail, he recommends a 'nice glass of Chardonnay' provided by the 2021 Saint-Véran 'Les Pommards' from Domaine Barraud.
The Main Event: For the turkey, Adam skips the heavy reds in favor of the 2020 Marsannay 'Héritage' from Domaine Huguenot. He calls this Pinot Noir 'absolutely perfect' for roast turkey, lighter enough not to overpower the bird but with enough structure to stand up to the trimmings.
The Finish: Moving onto the cheese course, the 'big guns' come out with the 2020 Gigondas 'Aux Lieux-Dits' from Domaine Santa Duc, offering a 'bigger, fuller' profile. Finally, for the Christmas pudding and mince pies, Adam finishes with a glass of 'liquid gold': the 2021 Monbazillac from Château Tirecul la Gravière.
This is a proper chef’s selection: thoughtful, delicious, and ready to go.

2020 MARSANNAY Héritage Domaine Huguenot

Côte d'Or  Burgundy  France

Fragrant with myrtle, bilberry, damson and forest floor. Great drive with grip and some flesh, balanced, never heavy, but persistent with plenty of fruit...
