As we transition from summer to the cooler days of September, it's the perfect time to explore a selection of wines that complement both the change in weather and the return to our routines.
This month, we've curated a list of five exceptional wines from our collection that are ideal for celebrating birthdays, unwinding after a busy day or simply enjoying the crisp autumn air.
- Champagne Gruet, Brut NV - Celebrate any occasion with a glass of Champagne Gruet, a light and bubbly delight that pairs beautifully with light appetisers and seafood. Its delicate bubbles and fresh citrus burst make it a splendid choice for birthday celebrations or any festive gathering.
- 2022 Charles Deloire Pouilly Fumé - Embrace the back-to-work season with a refreshing glass of Pouilly-Fumé. This wine, with its crisp mineral edge and gentle notes of citrus and gooseberry, is a wonderful companion to a leisurely evening or as a sophisticated aperitif to unwind after a long day.
- 2016 Chateau Lucas, Grand de Lucas 'Cuvee Prestige' - As the evenings begin to cool, enjoy the rich, velvety tannins of this Lussac-Saint-Emilion. Perfect with a hearty meal of red meat or lamb, it’s a luxurious way to treat yourself on a crisp September evening.
- 2018 Domenico Fraccaroli Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC - This Valpolicella Ripasso is a testament to refined elegance, offering a beautifully balanced palate of red fruits and soft spices. It's ideal for savouring alongside autumn dishes like rabbit or game birds.
- 2022 Jean Pierre et Alexandre Ellevin Chablis - Don’t let go of white wines just yet; a Chablis is perfect for the variable September climate. With its elegant blend of fruit and mineral tones, it pairs wonderfully with seafood or can be enjoyed on its own during those still-warm early autumn days.
