Cotes du Rhone 2007, value and veg.

The 2007 vintage in the Rhone was outstanding at all levels. For a punter it is like visiting your local market and finding all the fruit and veg to be of top quality. This is instead of my usual experience of organic carrots in juxtaposition with dodgy curly kale. From a vino perspective take home the award winning Domaine des Paquieres, Cotes du Rhone, France, 2007,£9.99.

Once in the wine glass, this is medium bodied, spicy, with soft plum fruit flavours and firm tannins. A satisfying experience and will go well with meat and two veg!
