Chassaux et Fils – Specially Selected Grenache Cinsault Rose

Another stylish pink wine from Aldi, this time in a substantial bottle with an upmarket black and gold label (user alert: the bottle is so tall you may find it challenges your fridge space). But it’s not just about the look of the bottle. In the glass, this Languedoc wine has a delicate lychee tint and on the nose you will trace rose, peach and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. Don’t let its subtle fragrance fool you, it finishes bone dry on the palate and has great zing, after a delicious mouthful of soft fruit. There’s an unctuous feel in your mouth after a couple of sips, making this a fantastic party wine, well priced at under £7 a bottle. And it’s OK for vegans too.
