Michel Guilleminot Brut Rosé Champagne
Rosé and sparkling wines are both among the favourites of moms all around the country. Needless to say the combination of both in the form of this delicate and elegant Brut Rosé Champagne makes the perfect wine gift to make the special lady in your life feel appreciated. Made entirely from Pinot Noir grapes, this gentle dry sparkling rosé features complex notes and a bright, crisp flavour.
Louis Latour Pouilly-Vinzelles ‘En Paradis’
If you’ve decided on white wine as a present to give this Mother’s Day, this Pouilly-Vinzelles by Louis Latour is a fantastic choice. It would be hard to find another white Burgundy that’s both as flavourful and as affordable as this one. This full-bodied white is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the region around the village of Vinzelles. The prominent notes you can taste include golden honey mixed with a beautiful bouquet of apricots and white peaches with hits of lemon and vanilla. A wine like this one is certainly not your everyday drink and should be gifted at the appropriate occasion.
Château Courac Laudun Côtes du Rhône Villages Rogue
If white wines aren’t to your taste then this full-flavoured and elegant Côtes du Rhône by Château Courac might be better suited. Tasted blindly could be put on the same level as a fine Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This is a wine with fine tannins and huge presence. It’s warm and luscious flavour features prominent flavours of bramble fruits, with notes of smoky spice and liquorice.
Mas de Cadenet Côtes De Province Rosé
Like we mentioned before, a fine rosé is the perfect wine to present as a Mother’s Day gift. This Mas de Cadenet Province Rosé is a fine example of a wine suitable for a present. Crisp and fresh with a flavour palette that features wild strawberries mixed with hints of rose petals, herbs and just the right amount of acidity to offer a sophisticated finish.
Domaine Viticole de Colmar Crémant d’Alsace Blanc de Blancs
You can never go wrong with a fine sparkling wine as a gift, no matter the occasion. This Blanc de Blanc, made in the most traditional method, offers brilliant fizz with a dry, delicate flavour profile and a creamy overtone. Delicious as an aperitif or served with Mother’s Day brunch or lunch, this is certainly an exquisite sparkling wine to choose.
Domaine Les Grands Bois Rasteau Cuvee Marc
This Domaine les Grands Bois Marc would be the perfect gift for any red wine lovers. With 15% alcohol contents this wine is big, bold and certainly more robust than other wines from the region. It features sweet and bitter black fruits with an intriguing concentration, which makes it a good pair for grilled or roasted red meats. Perfect to serve with a Mother’s Day roast dinner!
Château d’Esclans Rock Angel Provence Rosé
The Rock Angle Province rosé is crafted in small quantities, making it a perfect wine to gift the special woman in your life. This fine premium rosé is in many ways akin to a high quality white Burgundy. Partially fermented in a barrel to add texture, this wine features subtle flavours of fresh fruit and a long fine finish.
Conclusion
Mother’s day is the perfect opportunity to pamper your mom, grandma, aunt or other motherly figure in your life. And what a better way to do it than a lovely meal and a nice bottle of fancy wine? For this special occasion we definitely recommend a fine rosé or a light sparkling wine, particularly if you’re having a Mother’s Day brunch that includes small nibbles such as tapas, or a combination of sweet treats such as pancakes, chocolate and fruits.
If you’re planning a family Sunday dinner for your mom, you might prefer to get a white or red wine depending on your main course. Always remember your wine pairing basics – red meats with red wine and white meats with white.
And even if you don’t have a whole meal planned, every woman would appreciate a beautiful bottle of wine as a gift.
