Grape

Grenache

Origin
This wine comes from a selection of old vines of Grenache Noir surrounding the Mediterranean village of Cruzy. The vineyards benefit from the cooling breeze from the Mediterranian Sea.
Taste
It shows intense and complex aromas of jammy strawberry with spicy hints of blackcurrant on the nose. While on the palate it is smooth and velvety with a long and fruity aftertaste of cherry.
Enjoy
This juicy wine is great on its own but wold also work well with forest mushroom paté or pork chops.

    Oh Dear -a shocker

    I think there may be a variation in quality here. I tasted this last year found it pleasant and bought rather a lot. The taste has nothing to commend it at all. The best way to describe the shock is to liken it to drinking the last half inch of a bottle of port left over from weeks back.-Bitter, acidic-rough. It was quietly poured away at two tastings of our group. For the same money you get the excellent Corbieres from Majestic--which may lack body but doesn't make you want to hide in shame_)

    Disappointing

    Bought on the strength of previous reviews, this was very disappointing. Far too sweet, like a soft drink.

    A good one.

    The charactor and quality of a cru Beaujolais for a lot less. Terrific value, great enjoyment. I wouldn't quibble at 5 stars - even.

    Very enjoyable!

    Smooth and fruity. One of the best wines I have drank at this price level for some time.

Press Reviews

  • "Supremely fruity red, packed with sweetly ripe red plums and perfumed with the scent of cloves. A good partner for pork chops, and not too heavy for the maple-brined version. "
