🥂Start with a Sparkle - Nothing says celebration like bubbles🥂

An iconic Champagne, perfect for Christmas morning or New Year’s Eve. The sumptuous 2012 vintage is refined and complex, with citrus, toast and chalky elegance.
➜ Langlois-Château Crémant de Loire Brut NV
The perfect sparkling aperitif from Bollinger's Loire valley estate. Vibrant, fresh and racy with waxed lemon, crisp green apple, stone fruit, brioche and fine bubbles.
➜ Klein Constantia MCC 2020
Great value, this elegant cap classique has a vivid bouquet of lemon zest and brioche. Fresh and lively with fine bubbles, the palate is expressive, dry and balanced.
🐟Starters & Fish - From smoked salmon to scallops, these elegant whites bring lift and finesse.
➜ 2019 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru, Ballot-Millot
A knockout 1er Cru Burgundy described by Neal Martin as "The kind of Meursault that makes you smile like a Cheshire cat." Ballot-Millot is one of the finest producers in Meursault making beautifully pure, racy whites with great elegance and finesse.
➜ 2021 Côtes du Jura Chardonnay “Face a l’Est”, Florent Rouve
A master of Chardonnay, Florent Rouve's Face a l'Est bursts from the glass with bright apple fruit, citrus, nectarine and creamy beeswax. This comfortably matches Burgundy many times the price.
➜ 2024 Village Chardonnay, Kumeu River
A great value introduction to the wines from this iconic New Zealand estate. Zesty lime and stone fruit, lightly creamy, with a refreshing finish - a fine match for seafood. The beautifully balanced and complex Estate Chardonnay from Kumeu is also a great choice.
🍗The Main Event - Whether turkey, beef Wellington or a vegetarian centrepiece, these reds deliver festive depth.
➜ 2005 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste, Pauillac 5th Growth
A very classy Pauillac from the exceptional 2005 vintage that is just hitting its stride. Graphite, cassis, and pencil-lead precision wrapped in layers of deep black fruit, vibrant acidity, and a breathtakingly pure, long finish. For those wanting something with a little more age we have the 1986 vintage as well.
➜ 2010 Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino
Sangiovese at its finest. Beautifully complex and intense with bright cherry, spiced meat, liquorice and tobacco. Vibrant with incredible depth and wonderfully fine tannins.
➜ 2020 Maranges 1er Cru “Clos Roussots”, Aurore Bachelet
Aurore Bachelet is a very talented young winemaker based south of Chassagne-Montrachet in Santenay. This is an elegant and expressive Pinot Noir with lively red fruit, Morello cherry, cinnamon and floral notes.
➜ 2019 La Chenade, Lalande de Pomerol
A stone’s throw from Pomerol in Lalande de Pomerol, the hugely popular La Chenade is a steal at this price. An 80/20 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with dark juicy fruit, soft supple tannins and a gorgeous mouthfeel make this a real crowd-pleaser.
🧀For the Cheese Board - A final flourish of indulgence
➜ Fonseca Vintage Port 1985
A great older vintage showing deep layers of kirsch, dark chocolate and dried fruit richness.
➜ 2016 Graham's Vintage Port (Half Bottle)
A classic choice and with good reason. The rich, powerful dark fruit and burnt orange flavours pair beautifully with Stilton, mature cheddar or creamy blues.
➜ 2020 Vin de Constance, Klein Constantia (50cl)
This historic South African sweet wine is beautifully balanced, harmonious and fresh with captivating notes of dried apricot, marmalade, ginger and honey. Velvety smooth with a long vibrant finish, this is the perfect accompaniment to any cheese board.
➜ 2017 Tokaji 5 Puttonyos Blue Label, Royal Tokaji (50cl)
A luscious, tangy Tokaji bursting with dried apricot, honey, citrus peel and spice. Good value.
