Domaine Roger Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Olivets 2004 in a hinged Wooden Gift Box - France

Winery:

Initially this wine has the forward fruit character of a New World wine. After a little time in the glass it opens out to show herbs and stony minerality, followed by red fruits and a touch of lavender. The palate is tightly knit, fine but chewy tannins, lovely savoury notes, green olives, musky fruits and gravel. Excellent drinking now and should drink well for another 5 years.

Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Vignerondes 1999 Domaine Faiveley in a hinged Wooden Gift Box - France

Winery:

Jacquesson Brut NV Cuvée 730 in a Hinged Wooden Gift Box - France

Winery:

Cuvée 730 corresponds to the 2002 vintage, which provides 60% of the raw material for this wine. The producer then makes the best possible wine that year (as opposed to a reliable NV wine that tastes the same every year). It's a vintage approach to NV wine. It's barrel fermented, using 48% chardonnay (so a lighter, fresher but still intense style), and a tiny dosage, so a is seriously dry, minerally, and foody style that will attract the thinking drinker. Packed in a polished hinged box with a personal message and next day delivery (+£8.95).

Chateau Rieussec 1999 Sauternes in a hinged Wooden Gift Box - France

Pol Roger Brut Vintage 1998 in a Hinged Wooden Gift Box - France

Winery:

Is this the best vintage champagne? We couldn't say that, but Pol rightly have a fantastic reputation for it. Michael Broadbent reportedly rates it hugely, which certainly isn't a shabby recommendation. It is a great combination of elegance yet honeyed generosity of flavour, with toasty length. It's brilliant value, too, at well under £40 at a time when Bollinger's vintage, to take one, is now over £60. Packed in a polished hinged box with a personal message and next day delivery (+£8.95).

Bollinger Special Cuvée in a Hinged Wooden Gift Box - France

Winery:

Bollinger is the epitome of the pinot-dominated champagne. Rich, creamy, and highly distinctive, Bollinger's individuality is enhanced further through the use of barrel fermentation, a method used by only a handful of houses. The reserve wines at Bollinger are kept for 5-10 years in magnums before being added to the blend. Three years of lees ageing (and a further three months after disgorgement) only add to the complexity and toasty power of this fabulous champagne. High acidity in youth gives this wine the chance to age considerably, should you have the will power to leave it! Packed in a polished hinged box with a personal message and next day delivery (+£8.95).

Chateau Cos d Estournel 1996 2nd Growth St Estephe in a hinged Wooden Gift Box - France

Winery:

Made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, this is a huge, backward wine. The 1996 possesses an opaque purple color, as well as pure aromatics consisting of cassis, grilled herbs, coffee, and toasty new oak. Massive in the mouth, and one of the most structured and concentrated young Cos d'Estournels I have ever tasted, this thick, structured, tannic wine has closed down significantly since bottling. It requires 7-8 years of cellaring, and should last for 30-35 years. It is a fabulous Cos, but patience is required. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2030. Robert Parker (93pts). Packed in a polished hinged box with a personal message and next day delivery (+£8.95).
