A hand-picked selection of everyday wines that are far from ordinary, and wine-list classics you can’t afford not to have at home. These wines are the backbone of a wine list, noted and lauded for their consistent crowd-pleasing quality and versatility in food matching, and are the sommelier’s go-to.
Start with a glass of the esteemed Grand Brut from Maison Perrier-Jouët, then choose unoaked Chablis to compliment fresh seafood. Aged red Burgundy packs soft red-fruit, and a classic meaty note, and cries out for game-bird, while the rapier-tang of the Gavi di Gavi suits mushroom risotto. The Cabernet-heavy Villegeorge has the power to match the heartiest of main-courses, but a lightly chilled Trocken Riesling has a culinary versatility that is hard to match.
