Emile Christmas Six

We've sorted Christmas Day and curated the perfect box for the big event.

To begin, open Ogereau's organic Crémant de Loire with your blinis and oysters. Fine bubbles, white-flower perfume, crisp apple and citrus: the perfect festive opener.

Then on to the whites: two ultimate crowd-pleasers. Guy Allion's Touraine Sauvignon Blanc and La Vicomté's Maison Vermentino: both fresh and expressive, both unmistakably Emile with beautiful labels by artist Frances Costelloe. The Sauvignon brings zesty citrus and flinty lift; the Vermentino is softer, more floral, beautifully mineral. Different enough to keep everyone happy, harmonious enough for the table.

For the reds: Mon P’tit Pithon Rouge is warm and joyful. Our Guy Allion Pinot Noir is lighter, silkier, all red cherries and soft tannins. While Cuvée Z brings brightness and personality: juicy Southern French fruit with herbal garrigue spice and a little savoury edge for anyone who wants something more characterful.

A perfect line-up from aperitif to afters.
