Discover Majestic’s top 10 Christmas wines, from bottles for the big day to those to enjoy with friends and family by the fire.

Christmas is a time for gathering, feasting, and celebrating the moments that matter most. In the season of coming together, there’s little that can make these moments even better – apart from a truly great bottle to share.

Whether you’re unwinding by the fire with friends, heading to a festive get-together, or sitting down for the big day feast itself, the right wine can make every moment feel that bit more special. From crisp bubbles to raise a toast to rich wines that pair perfectly with roast turkey and all the trimmings, Majestic has a bottle for every occasion this Christmas.

To make this a Christmas to remember, we’ve handpicked our Top 10 Christmas Wines for 2025 – great for gifting or sharing at the table this season.

Vilarnau ‘Gaudi’ Organic Cava Brut Reserva, Penedès

A real favourite, this organic fizz is an ideal pick for your festive gatherings, receiving 95 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2025. Expect crisp apple, ripe pear, honeysuckle, and almonds with citrus acidity.

Ridgeview ‘Fitzrovia’ Rosé, Sussex

Add a touch of English luxury to your festive celebrations with this vibrant rosé. Aged for around 18 months on its lees, you’ll find it textured, complex, and crisp with notes of summer berries, citrus, and fresh flowers. It’s the perfect gift for an English wine-lover or for raising a glass with friends.

Roberto Sarotto 'Campo dell'Olio' Gavi di Gavi DOCG

A Christmas feast isn’t just for red wine, there are some wonderfully full and luscious whites that can stand up to all the flavours too. Made from Cortese grapes on a two-hectare vineyard, this wine went through a long, cool fermentation to draw out the grape’s signature aromatics. Add a further three months resting on lees, and you’re in for a seriously textured wine that matches turkey without overpowering it.

Pauillac de Lynch-Moussas, Bordeaux

If you’re having beef this Christmas, then you can’t go wrong with Bordeaux. This wine is aged in oak barrels, a percentage of which are new, for 14 months giving it fantastic complexity and structure, with tannins that will stand up to the fat in the beef.

Domaine Bernard Michaut 'Beauroy' Chablis Premier Cru

For the true Chardonnay-lovers, this is an exceptional Premier Cru from Domaine Bernard. Expect golden hints of almond, vanilla, and a long finish. This will taste even more complex in a decade. If you can't, drink a glass with moules frites or salmon en crôute.

Maison Alexandre Gauvin Gevrey-Chambertin

Is it really Christmas without a bottle of red Burgundy? Full-bodied, structured, and fantastically age-worthy, the wines of Gevrey-Chambertin are some of the most prestigious and sought-after reds in the world. It’s intensely fruity with flavours of black cherry, blackberry, and notes of liquorice and leather. Either save this one for your Christmas dinner or gift it to a friend who appreciates a truly good Pinot Noir.

La Rioja Alta ‘904’ Rioja Gran Reserva

This very special bottle is the perfect gift for a wine-lover – something to sip and savour or cellar until the moment is right. Complex and elegant, expect flavours of blackberry jam, raspberries, cedar, and cigar box, with liquorice and clove flavours. Thanks to its maturity, it’s perfect for roasted meats.

Domaine Begude ‘Esprit’ Organic Pinot Noir

This example is made using careful organic methods at Domaine Begude, a sustainably minded estate. The red fruit flavours and bright acidity are the perfect match to a veggie wellington or nut roast but equally as well with a festive cheeseboard. Plus, it’s vegan-friendly.

Famille Perrin ‘Les Chemins des Mulets’ Châteauneuf-du-Pape

This wine is made using grapes from the same vineyards as the famous Château de Beaucastel but from younger vines. Flavours of raspberry and pepper add to its complexity and richness. It’s the perfect partner for decadent dishes featuring game, truffles, or mushrooms.

Fonseca ‘Quinta do Panascal’ Vintage Port

This Quinta do Panasca Vintage Port punches well above its weight. With opulent notes of cassis, black cherry, dark chocolate and sandalwood, it’s exactly what you want on Christmas Day – either with cheese or an after-dinner treat.
