Vintage Sommelier's Box #4 : Perfect Festive Dinner

A curated journey through France's finest terroirs, from first pour to final toast.

This box takes you through a complete festive dinner, six bottles chosen to carry you from aperitif to dessert without a single misstep. Open with two contrasting Champagnes: the Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV, all chalk and citrus finesse from the Côte des Blancs, alongside Jacquesson's Cuvée 747 Extra Brut, a richer, more vinous style built for those who like their bubbles with backbone.

Move to the table with a pair of Burgundy reds that showcase two very different faces of Pinot Noir. Domaine de Montille's Monthelie brings silky red fruit and effortless drinkability, while Domaine Muzard's Santenay Maladière 1er Cru adds structure and depth, a step up for the main course.

For those who prefer white with their festive spread, Château de Chantegrive's Graves 'Caroline' delivers bright, mineral-driven Sauvignon-Semillon from Bordeaux, an excellent match for seafood and poultry alike.

Close the meal in style with Château Guiraud, a Sauternes premier cru from 2010. Sixteen years of bottle age have given this sweet wine layers of honey, apricot and saffron, the perfect finish to any celebration.

Choose the 12-bottle format to double every wine and share the full experience with a larger table.
