Christmas Crowd Pleasers

Domaine de la Motte, Petit Chablis 2022, Burgundy x3

Vineyards are in the Hautes Côtes, at the top of the slopes just above Domaine de la Motte's Chablis classified plots and so achieve good ripeness. The soil is Portlandian, which is less chalky than Kimmeridgian, and typically produces wines which are less mineral and more fruity, well suited to earlier drinking. Having said that, Motte’s wine has real finesse with good fruit character – very much their house style. Cool-fermented in stainless steel, malolactic fermentation is also in stainless steel and the wine is unoaked. Fairly restrained on the nose, savoury herbs, citrus alongside minerality in the palate.

Perfect with oysters and all shellfish.

Bruno Sorg, Pinot Noir 2022, Alsace x3

This is the source of some of the finest, richest and most concentrated wines in Alsace. Superb Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris and perhaps the finest Muscat in Alsace, but also home to great Riesling. Having said all that, here we have a Pinot Noir. Something that Alsace is becoming better known for and offering superb value in comparison to some Pinot from Burgundy. 

A complex Pinot, that has good fruit density, freshness along with a savoury dimension. A Burgundy-esque Pinot that offers fantastic value.
