NV Dumangin, La Grande Rserve, Champagne, France
£36£28.67
The impact of extended ageing on non-vintage Champagne is so interesting. I came up with the idea of an Extra Age' cuve for a house Champagne many moons ago and now a number of Houses make this lusty style (with varying success). Fifth generation winemaker Gilles Dumangin has always championed this richer, vintage-style' technique and his is a thrilling wine. It's common knowledge that Sir Paul McCartney drank this wine at his wedding to Nancy Shevell, but only a small crowd know that I drank it at my wedding, too! This is your definitive, great value Christmas Champagne.

2017 Domaine de l'Idylle, Vieilles Vignes, Cruet, Savoie, France
£12.95£11.95
This is one of the most fascinating and invigorating wines of the season. New on the market, this pin sharp white made from the dramatic slopes of the Savoie wine region is fashioned from a grape that you might not have come across before - Jacqure. Aside from price, the main attraction here is the extraordinary sophistication found on the palate. A wildflower scent and wet pebble coolness are joined by the most demure and weightless citrus theme, making it the perfect aperitif and canap wine. Expect to be profoundly moved.

2016 Fitou, Domaine des Rebouls, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
£13.25£12.25
This is the very first vintage of Domaine de Rebouls. Winemaker Jean-Marc Astruc made the monumental step of freeing himself from the grasp of the local co-operative and bottling his own grapes under his own label the results are incredible. Made from Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, this is a densely appointed wine with a powerful mid-palate and a dry, raspy finish. It is macho, proud, generous and fiercely authentic. It is also a tiny price to pay for this level of seriously talented winemaking.

2017 Le Petit Caboche, Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, France
£10.50£9.50
Made from a blend of Syrah, Egiodola, Caladoc and Marselan, by the former mayor of Chteauneuf-du-Pape, Jean-Pierre Boisson, and his daughter Emilie this is one of my favourite wines in the Yapp cellar. Juicy, buoyant, frivolous and light-hearted, this is a cracking house' red with all of the joy and ebullience that you crave in a wintry glugger. Seamless, silky and also marvellously polished - you rarely find these descriptors used for Vaucluse wines!

2014 Chteau Milhau-Lacugue, Les Truffires, Saint-Chinian, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
£15.50£14.50
Saint-Chinian is a gem of a wine region in the Hrault department, tucked between Bziers and Carcassonne. Wine has been made here for over two thousand years - Roman orator Cicero was a big fan. Les Truffires is a classy Saint-Chinian with less earthiness and grunt than many. The wines of this estate show plump, voluminous fruit and masses of style. Shaped like a lusty Pomerol more than a rustic Gigondas, this is a beautiful wine made from Syrah and Grenache. It may seem somewhat of an anomaly, but if you get to know this estate well, you will find that all of their wines have this lan and allure.

2017 Domaine Pieretti, Muscat du Cap Corse, France
£24.75 £23.75
I tasted this wine at a recent Yapp event and fell in love at first sip. Similar in shape and size to a Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise but with a wilder, more untamed perfume, this Corsican beauty is a superb sweetie and because it is a full (75cl) bottle, the value is, once again, incredible. Mandarin-themed with light, honey and brle notes, this wine could be drunk with pt as well as with fruity puds. I wouldn't make it to afternoon tea without demanding a large glass with a slice of cake!
