The best red wines to buy for Christmas 2021

2020 Racine Pinot Noir, IGP Pays d`Oc, Bruno Lafon & François Chamboissier

Made with Burgundian savoir-faiure, it has generosity, finesse and a subtle waft of lavender on the nose.

2019 Le Mas, Domaine Clavel, Languedoc

A gorgeous, unoaked, smooth red that bursts with flavours of wild strawberries, fresh figs and blackberries, with skeins of dried thyme.

2019 Côtes du Rhône Villages Saint Gervais Les Rouvières, Domaine Sainte-Anne

Unusual and delicious, this showcases the gamey, dark mourvèdre grape. Fine tannins, tons of atmosphere.
