M&S L’Or du Ciron Sauternes 2010, Bordeaux, France, 37.5cl, £13, Marks & Spencer stores

A merry measure for sure, this golden elixir will complement a well-laced trifle with fresh fruit, vanilla custard and cream. Pure nectar, with delightful aromas of apricot and orange, the palate’s richly textured with layers of honey, orange blossom and exotic candied fruits. The perfect balance of sweetness and richness.
