By the time you\u2019re reading this, it\u2019s likely that Christmas will have come and gone. We sincerely hope that you had a wonderful day filled with friends, family, food, and more than your fair sharing of Italian wine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the celebrations aren\u2019t over yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Christmas wrapped up, we have another big day ahead of use \u2013 New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the dawning of a new year is upon us and it feels like it\u2019s come around crazily fast. We don\u2019t know about you, but 2019 has flown by fir the Xtrawine team. And now, we stand on the precipice of not just a new year but an entirely new decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We think that\u2019s a good reason to celebrate, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we would normally recommend breaking out a few bottles of Italian wine to get the party started. And we definitely think that this is a thing that you should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let\u2019s be honest\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s only one wine that\u2019s suitable for ringing in the New Year \u2013 Champagne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you\u2019re going to have to move fast if you want to get your hands on some. With 2020 fast approaching, the clock\u2019s ticking down to the big celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need a little help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the five best Champagnes<\/a> that you can buy today directly from the Xtrawine Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laherte Fr\u00e8res Champagne Les Empreintes Extra Brut 2011<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What better Champagne to start with than the one that has the highest rating of all of the Champagnes that we offer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Laherte Fr\u00e8res Champagne Les Empreintes Extra Brut 2011 is a gorgeous wine that\u2019s also very affordable. Clocking in at \u20ac65, this isn\u2019t going to break the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in return for that investment, you get a wine that is at its peak maturity. Released in 2011, the wine has a 10-year ageing capacity. We\u2019re getting very close to that full potential being reached, which means now is the time to snap a bottle up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team has tried it and they\u2019re absolutely in love with it. The fruity notes, which include pineapple, peach, and lime, are absolutely intoxicating. And while every wine on this list is a great selection for your New Year\u2019s party, we can think of no better than this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we gave it a rating of 96\/100. This is as close to perfect as Champagne can get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacques Selosse Champagne V.O. Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the affordable we go a Champagne that would definitely be considered a premium product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we\u2019ll say right off the bat that the Xtrawine team has fallen in love with the Jacques Selosse Champagne V.O. Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut. There\u2019s a very good reason for that too. The Champagne is one of the most remarkable that we\u2019ve experienced in a long time, which is why it also gets a 96\/100 rating from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only reason that it\u2019s a little lower on the list is that it\u2019s not quite as affordable as the Laherte Fr\u00e8res Champagne Les Empreintes Extra Brut 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, it\u2019s one of the most acclaimed wines of recent years, as these reviews from other publications will prove<\/p>\n\n\n\n
