🏆 Curated by Duncan, Wine Club of the Year Sommelier

This is the case for those who want Christmas to be extraordinary. 
Six iconic wines from the world's most celebrated regions – 
Champagne, Burgundy, Clare Valley – each one a benchmark of its style. 

These aren't just wines. They're the bottles that define their regions, 
from houses and estates with generations of expertise. The kind you 
save for special occasions. And what's more special than Christmas?

Why "Iconic"?
✓ Wines from legendary producers (Pol Roger, Jim Barry, Vallado)
✓ Regions that define excellence (Champagne, Burgundy, Clare Valley)
✓ Bottles that age beautifully if you can resist opening them
✓ The wines serious collectors recognize immediately
✓ An investment in making Christmas truly memorable

THE COLLECTION:

🍾 Pol Roger Brut NV, Champagne, France
The House of Churchill. One of the great Champagne houses, 
family-owned for seven generations. This is what real Champagne 
should taste like – elegant, refined, utterly delicious. Winston 
Churchill's favorite for a reason.

🦐 Rumour Has It Chardonnay, Black Chalk, England
From England's rising star of sparkling and still wines. This 
Chardonnay is turning heads – Burgundian in style, with beautiful 
complexity. Perfect with seafood, even better as a conversation starter.

🦃 Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Prosper Maufoux, Burgundy, France
Real Burgundy for your Christmas table. From the hills above Beaune, 
this is Chardonnay at its most elegant and food-friendly. The classic 
pairing for roast turkey – there's a reason the French know best.

🦃 Plume Pinot Noir, Lake Chalice, New Zealand
Marlborough's best-kept secret (beyond Sauvignon Blanc). Silky, 
sophisticated Pinot Noir that rivals Burgundy at a fraction of the 
price. For those who prefer red with their turkey.

🥩 McRae Wood Shiraz, Jim Barry, Clare Valley, Australia
From one of Australia's founding wine families. This isn't just 
any Shiraz – McRae Wood is legendary. Powerful, structured, 
utterly compelling. The wine to bring out for your best beef or lamb.

🍯 10 Year Tawny Port, Vallado, Douro, Portugal
A decade of aging in oak barrels creates something magical – 
caramel, nuts, dried fruit, pure luxury. The perfect end to a 
perfect meal. Pour small glasses and savor every sip.

Duncan's Note:

"This is the case I'd serve if wine critics were coming for 
Christmas dinner. Every single bottle is a benchmark – the kind 
serious wine lovers recognize immediately. Pol Roger Champagne, 
Burgundy, Clare Valley Shiraz, aged Tawny Port... these are 
names that mean something. 

Yes, it's an investment. But these are wines that create memories. 
The kind where someone says 'remember that incredible Champagne 
we had at Christmas?' five years later."
