To borrow a line from “Sideways”, the day you open any one of these wines ... that’s the special occasion. Our Fine Wine team have decades of experience and have picked out their “next level” half-dozen – the wines they’d open for themselves when they’ve something to celebrate. In reds, Vajra’s Lagarbiana Barolo (see front) is joined by a glorious Châteauneuf-du-Pape and stunning Saint-Julien claret Lalande-Borie (the excellent 2014 vintage, no less). Whites lead with a wonderfully complex, creamy Savigny-lès-Beaune alongside rare Crozes-Hermitage Blanc from Guigal, perhaps the Rhône’s finest producer. Completing the set is the greatest Marlborough Sauvignon of all, Cloudy Bay.
