Mince Pies first originated from England during the 13th century, back when they were first made, they were known as Christmas pies, mutton pies or shrid pies. they used to be made with pastry, meats, dried fruits and spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, these ingredients were brought back from the Middle East by European crusaders, nowadays, they’ve removed the meat, most Mince Pies sold today are vegetarian friendly, but it is still worth checking the packaging as some will have meat in the suet.

The Mince Pie has been enjoyed around Christmas for a long time, and as it has been enjoyed around Christmas the Pie began to be associated with Catholicism/Christianity, so during the English Civil War, the Puritan authorities frowned on them. But that didn’t put an end to the Pie, they continued to be eaten around Christmas through the Victorian era and is still very much enjoyed to this day.

Mince Pie Pairing

I decided to go with 12 small mince pies, the perfect size to go with a spread of different Christmas treats and very easy to enjoy for those who don’t have the biggest sweet tooth.

Pairing Notes: “A fizzy red berry wave comes over the mince pie, it’s strong at first then soaks into the mince pie leaving a touch of red berry mince pie.”

The festive mince pie is given a Christmas red berry addition, making it an even more Christmassy treat, a festive combination.

Think now of setting off on a journey to visit two of the most romantic cities in the world: from Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet, to Paris. Imagine a train’s black carriages waiting for you on the tracks: you may feel a biting wind blowing mingled with smoky gust. There are distinguished businessmen from different countries, accompanied by sophisticated women wearing white ermine fur on their shoulders and intoxicating perfume. The restaurant coach offers fine porcelain and silver cutlery on the table, velvet chairs and exquisite art deco furniture. There is no doubt that an unforgettable travel experience is going to win you over.

And what is that wine flowing with sparkling glamour that lifts everyone’s spirits? “Madame et Monsieur, bienvenue à bord du Venice Simplon-Orient Express, nous sommes heureux de vous accueillir à bord avec une flûte de Champagne…”
Of course, it’s Champagne! The symbol of France and the most appreciated wine in Paris in the 20’s.

Along the way from Verona to Paris, while drinking Champagne on board, you’ll better understand the reason why Champagne was as deeply loved at that time as it is nowadays: it’s not only because of its sparkling joy due to the vivacious bubbles or the brilliant colour and its golden nuances, but most of all, it’s because of its allure and ability to create a cheerful mood. Over the years, Champagne has never stopped making people fall in love with its elegance and intrigue. And this is thanks to the passion and commitment of the winemakers who have made it.

Madames and Monsieurs, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Laurent Lequart Champagne, a family estate located in Passy-Grigny, in the heart of the beautiful Vallée de la Marne. This vineyard has been cultivated in clay-limestone and clay-sandstone soils, with love and great respect for the environment, for five generations. Since 1988, Laurent has cultivated wine sustainably and his engagement has been rewarded with two important certifications: HVE (high environmental value) and VDC (sustainable viticulture in Champagne). They work 11,400 hectares, mainly focused on the typical grape variety of the Vallée de la Marne: the Pinot Meunier, a fruity and elegant variety with its delicious flavours and bouquet of citrus fruits.

And here are two magnificent Champagnes that will transport you to Paris in a second with their vibrant bubbles!

Champagne Laurent Lequart – Blanc de Meunier 

100% Pinot Meunier
This wine opens with fine fruity aromas such as peach and plum, embellished by cedar peel.
It’s refined with embracing notes of butter and brioche. In the mouth, accents of pear and balsamic nuances. The flavour is creamy yet crisp, citrus fruits on the finish which conquer the palate with its undeniable elegance.

This Champagne won a Gold Medal in the Sea Breeze category at the Glass of Bubbly Awards 2021.

Champagne Laurent Lequart – Réserve 

100% Pinot Meunier
This Champagne is designed to age beautifully. With a beautiful golden colour, it is rich yet complex, it exudes white stone fruity notes with a touch of citrus. In the mouth it offers the freshness of a fruit salad, juicy apples and buttery flavours, marvellously combined with creamy hues.

This Champagne won a Gold Medal in the Gastronomic category at the Glass of Bubbly Awards 2021.

Having a glass of Champagne while listening to good music is always an excellent choice, especially if the wine and the music chosen for the occasion match nicely. Charleston, the music that evokes Champagne’s liveliness due to its sparkling rhythm, was certainly the soundtrack that accompanied la joie de vivre in Paris in the 20’s, marking people’s life with a touch of craziness. But suddenly, I can hear another sound… the unmistakable ‘choo-choo’ sound of a train’s locomotive! Hurry up, the Orient Express is going to leave… allez allez, on y va, Paris nous attend!

The Venice Simplon Orient Express passing through the Brenner Pass, Austria

My dear fizz lover, I hope my story has transported you to Paris in the 20’s, making you feel part of that marvellous world.

It only remains to me to wish you Joyeux Noël and bonne dégustation…

Merry Christmas!

Sparkling Wine and sweet treats can go hand in hand, creating an even more delicious combination, bringing out hidden flavours which have just lingered in the background waiting to light up your taste buds with their hidden talents.

We have 5 different Christmas treats to enjoy and two different Sparkling Wines to see which work best with which, please join us on our venture to discover which will pair best and hopefully receive a place by your side this Christmas.

The Sweet Sparkling Wines

Heinz Theodor Schroeder settled down in Patagonia in 1927 and began working in the wine industry, their winery and vineyards are located in San Patricio del Chañar, Patagonia at the heart of the southernmost wine region of Argentina. Chief enologist Leonardo Puppato helped in the technical design of the winery and also conducts the winemaking practices.

During the construction of the winery’s building, fossilized bones of a large herbivorous dinosaur were discovered. This became a massive part of Familia Schroeder, with them specially designing a cellar house to showcase the original bones in the exact place they were discovered. After several years of study, the paleontologists concluded that the fossils belonged to a new species, so the dinosaur received a new name: Panamericansaurus Schroederi, in recognition of the family contribution to the excavation works.

Name: Panamericansaurus Schroederi
Age: 75 million years (Campanian – Maastrichtian). Late Cretaceous.
Systematics: Sauropoda. Titanosauridae.
Environment: Coastal plain of shallow seas.
Length: 10 to 12 meters.
Diet: Herbivore.

Familia Schroeder – Deseado – Tasting Notes

Aroma “Mango, apricot, peach, hints of tropical fruits. A lovely array of ripe fruits on the aroma.”

Deseado and Christmas Cake – “As long as you don’t get too much icing, there’s a lively touch of tropical ripe fruits added into this Christmas cake.”

Deseado Rosé and Christmas Cake – “The Sparkling Wine adds a layer of red berries to the icing sugar, giving it a slightly more Christmas flavour, it’s an OK combination, but not perfect.”

“This wine will be of a fuller flavoured character. Perfect for a winter’s evening sat in front of the fire.“

The Glass of Bubbly Awards, aided by countless recommendations from top wine professionals and the guidance from Tatiana Mann (Diploma in Level IV WSET) sees a unique way to judge wines so that not only medals can be achieved, but categories in which consumers can relate to thus making labels easier to understand.

This Sparkling Wine won the Trophy in the Dessert Category, our Judges thought it best fit the category against Champagnes, Argentinan and Slovenian Sparkling Wines.

Dessert
A wine that will likely be sweeter in taste and pairs well with desserts.

Let’s first taste this English Sparkling Wine to see if it’s the perfect match for the Dessert Category

Biddenden

Biddenden Vineyards – Gribble Bridge Ortega Demi-Sec 2019 Tasting Notes

Aroma “Green apples, green pears, green grapes, green apple glazed tart aromas.”

Flavour “Orchard fruits, green apples, green pears, tastes like a natural sweetness from the fruits rather than added sugar.”

The Trophy Winner in the Dessert Category at the Glass of Bubbly Awards 2021.

Wow, what a treat, defiantly in the right category, there are many sweet Sparkling Wines available to buy, but not that many produced in England.

Kent’s original vineyard, the Barnes family has owned and managed Biddenden Vineyards since 1969, but vines weren’t the first things planted there, there were originally over 40 acres of apple orchard, but in the late 60’s apple prices began to decline, and in 1969, they decided to turn 1/3 of their acres into vines, that’s when Biddenden Vineyards was born.

They currently have 12 different grape varieties planted over 23 acres of south-facing slopes. It’s interesting to know that their first wine was bottled in 1973, it would be amazing if you have that bottle safely stored somewhere, today they produce around 80,000 bottles per year, the vineyard is currently being run by the second & third generations of the Barnes family.

There are many wonderful and award winning English Sparkling Wines on the market today, I think it would be a nice idea to enjoy a bottle of English Sparkling Wine on Christmas Day, to show our support for the industry, maybe you might end up trying something new, Glass of Bubbly can definitely help you find the perfect bottle for you and your family

Biddenden and Marzipan Gateau Slice Pairing: “The Sparkling Wine comes in and cleanses the palate, then allows the marzipan flavour to come alive again for a second wind in the same bite.”

Biddenden and Almond Cream Cake Pairing: “The Sparkling Wine comes in and cleanses5the palate, but leaves some of the almond flavours, giving you a single expression of delicate almond.”

Biddenden and Strawberry Vanilla Cream Gateau Slice Pairing: “A nice balance of white chocolate, strawberries, cream and pastry, the sparkling wine comes in and cleanses the palate leaving you wanting another bite.”

Biddenden and Cherry Cream Slice Pairing: “The chocolate leads the flavour, cherry takes second place and takes on a slight bitter taste.”

Biddenden and Lemon cream Roll Pairing: “The lemon flavours stay with you throughout, even intensifying after the Sparkling Wine has been added, with hints of pastry.”

Merry Christmas Everyone

It is said that around 25% of all Champagne sold and consumed will be during the week of Christmas and New Year. Via a previous survey from ASDA supermarket results showed that the most popular food served / consumed at a Christmas dinner was roast potatoes with second place being carrots and third being Turkey.

Christmas dinner for many families across the UK will be that Turkey roast with all the trimmings, veg, sauces and more. Turkey meat is a particularly rich source of B vitamins, including B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) – It is high in protein and also a rich source of minerals. It is one of the most healthier meats (further facts via HealthLine.com).

Turkey Christmas Dinner with Cranberry Sauce

Pairing Champagne with Turkey

If you’re looking for a great wine to pair with turkey then Champagne is a perfect suggestion. Though of course wine is a personal choice regarding what you prefer in style, a wine with a medium to high level of acidity is great to pair with white meats (especially the Turkey leg which have higher levels of fat), it is advised though that you should avoid pairing with excessive tannins such as from red wines!

A Brut style of Champagne, so medium levels of sugar / sweetness is the better style to go for. Turkey will be less greasy and require less powerful acidity from the wine to cleanse the palate. A touch of fruity sweet flavours from the Champagne will be welcomed to go against the savoury flavours from the dish. If you have sweeter sauces on your plate, such as cranberry sauce, then you can also opt for a rosé Champagne which will usually have a touch more red fruity sweet flavours to balance the palate.

Champagne Chateau de Boursault

Located West of Epernay, in Boursault, the grower label ‘Château de Boursault‘ is home to the famous château built between 1843 and 1850 by Madame Clicquot Ponsardin, the Veuve Clicquot who owned the Veuve Clicquot Champagne House.

Château de Boursault is one of the few estates in Champagne to have an enclosed space in which you’ll find the vineyards, a wine press, a winery and cellars.
