5 bottles to give with your eyes shut for Valentine's Day

5 bottles to give with your eyes shut for Valentine's Day

Jérôme Peleyras | 2/7/24, 9:03 AM

February 14th is just around the corner... To celebrate Valentine's Day, we've carefully selected five lovely vintages to offer or share.

On February 14th, many couples enjoy sharing a dinner in a restaurant or at home with their other half. It's at this precise moment that it's important to choose the bottle that will best accompany this intimate moment. Here's a selection of five cuvées to surprise your loved one.

The bottle to offer to celebrate love

Champagne Fleury, Notes Blanches 2015 (1) : Celebrating love also means betting on originality. With this 100% Pinot Blanc cuvée, you'll break away from the Champagne triptych of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. An elegant cuvée with character from a pioneering biodynamic estate in Champagne. Itverges on perfection.

  • Price : 65euros
  • Where to find it? On specialized websites and at the estate

Bottle to offer to a wine lover

Clos Marie, Simon 2021 (2) : Giving a bottle to a connoisseur is no easy task. So it's best to go for the real thing. Simon is a cuvée that needs time to reveal itself. You can uncork this cuvée with your other half after 10 years and share a great wine.

  • Price : around 35euros
  • Where to find it? On specialized websites and at the winery

The bottle to give as a gift

Lyrarakis, Dafni 2021 (3): Greece and its landscapes are the stuff of dreams, and so are its wines. For a one-way ticket to Crete, we suggest theDáfnigrape variety.We like it because it's out of the ordinary... When tasting, sip an infusion of rosemary, laurel and olive oil: in short, a concentrate of the Mediterranean.

  • Price: 15-20 euros
  • Where to find it?On specialized websites

The bottle with the evocative name

Domaine les Capréoles, L'amourgandise 2022 (4): What better way to celebrate love than with gourmet delights? That's the promise of this beautiful cuvée, and the result is convincing. Fruity and delicate, with black fruit aromas. Serve for dessert with chocolate fondant, for example!

  • Price: 12.50 euros
  • Where to find it: www.capreoles.plugwine.com

The bottle for a wine and food pairing

Clos Cibonne, tradition rosé 2021 (5): This 100% Tibouren cuvée is undoubtedly one of France's finest rosé wines. A gourmet cuvée that will surprise your lover. A vinous, chiselled wine, the opposite of its Provencal neighbors. The perfect match? Tagine.
