When Mr Carson pulled a bottle of wine from the cellar for Lord and Lady Grantham, one could be assured it was a fine French Claret from Bordeaux, the wine of choice amongst the British nobility in Edwardian England.

Honouring those same wine-making traditions, the Downton Abbey Wine collection is crafted with premium fruit from the famed Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux, France by fifth generation winemaker Jean-Marc Dulong (whose ancestors might well have made the very wines enjoyed at Downton). The Downton Abbey six-bottle mixed case offer, priced at £60 (normal price £77.94), includes three bottles of each of the following two wines:

 

Downton Abbey Blanc 2012

Downton Abbey Blanc 2012 is made from 70% Muscadelle and 30% Semillon grape varieties and has hints of tangerine and lemon citrus notes with a honeyed apricot palate. Soft, rounded and very refreshing.

 

Downton Abbey Claret 2012

Downton Abbey Claret 2012 is made from 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec grapes and has delicious wild berry fruit and spice with a hint of violets and soft velvety tannins.
