Christmas Wine Tasting

Bancroft’s Christmas wine tasting, which was held at our offices last night, confirmed just quite how good our Christmas offer is this year. We showed 13 wines and they were all tasting fantasticly well, with Anne-Claire Forest’s Pouilly-Fuissé being the most ordered white on the night, confirming the incredible value found from this producer. Michel Juillot’s Corton-Charlemagne 2007 was a serious Christmas treat for us all, as was the Château Léoville-Barton 1996.  A wonderful evening was had by all and it is comforting to know our guests will certainly be enjoying their Christmas wines in a few weeks time. Here is a summary of our Christmas offer:
