Wines For Christmas

Producer – La Vrille et le Papillon

Here you'll find a vinous grotto full of natural wines that we've chosen to highlight for the the festive season. Everything you'll need to get through December. Various styles of celebratory bubbles, for Christmas morning through to late night parties; robust red wines that one turns to when a chill is in the air and the fire is lit; textured, complex whites that will sit on the dinner table and more than do justice to the roasted bird; pocket-friendly options for larger gatherings or those looking to fill the racks; wines by the litre or magnum, because 'tis the time of year for big bottles; youthful wines bursting with vim or those with a few years under their belts awaiting that special occasion to pop the cork. Our seasonal edit is sure to bring you some Christmas cheer.

Either shop the whole collection, or use the filter to the left to narrow things down and get to exactly what you're looking for. Order for yourself or we can deliver directly to a lucky loved one as a gift.

La Vrille et le Papillon
Caprice du Chameau 2024

2021 sees a different blend for this ever-popular wine after Meryl & Géraldine lost half of their Viognier harvest to hail. As always, the wine shows concentrated, oily citrus and fleshy yellow stone fruits. There is a savoury, herbal quality and the time the wine has had in contact with the lees can be felt in the long finish. Find out more.

La Vrille et le Papillon
1921 NV

With a gentle flash of tawny to the edge of the rim, here we have a fine balance of development and freshness. Deep, concentrated red and black fruits meld with rustic tannin, cracked pepper spice and those trademark herbal notes: fennel, burdock root and coltsfoot rock can be picked out amongst the leather, rolling tobacco and richer barrel notes.
