Gauntleys Festive Mixed Cases
Elegant Loire & Rhone Duo
Much like a great Chablis and Claret, a quality Loire blanc and Rhone rouge make for a well-rounded pairing and beautiful combination at any time of the year. This duo firstly features a classic cool climate Chenin Blanc from Anjou, crowd pleasing and guaranteed to satisfy even a dabbling white wine drinker. The 2018 Magnolia from Chateau de la Roulerie has a fabulous intensity and delicious peach and nectarine fruit profile, with warming hints of ginger, combined with an elegant mineral character from the terroir and fine acidity. Rounded with a subtle salty note on a long, clean and gourmet finish, this would go well alongside many dishes – fish, poultry, and the perfect partner for pork too. If you have more of a sweet tooth then this also pairs delightfully with soft, creamy cheesecake. Secondly, we have the generously juicy, elegant, gourmand and delicious Vinsobres from Constant Duquesnoy down in the Southern Rhone. The 60-40 Grenache-Syrah 2016 Vinsobres is easy to drink without being simple or facile. It offers distinct aromas of pepper, plum, raspberry and blackberries and crisp blackcurrants followed by a full-bodied palate of vibrant, ripe and dense fruit, underscored by lush, supple tannins and savoury spice on the lingering finish. Even the most steadfast wine cynic would find it impossible not to be seduced by the charm of this delightful duo this Christmas.
