What\u2019s twenty quid going to get you these days?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not going to get you into a theatre, it might just get you the programme. Unless your tastes are considerably lower league, \u00a320 won\u2019t get you through the turnstiles at a football match. It won\u2019t get you far beyond the starter in a decent restaurant or buy more than the meanest fistful of flowers when you\u2019re a little late getting home. It won\u2019t even get a round of drinks unless your friends have abandoned you or have developed a taste for tap water.<\/p>\n

But \u00a320 (more or less) can get you a truly memorable, warming and delicious glass or three of outstanding C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne\u00a0red wine.<\/p>\n

The Producer: Emmanuel Reynaud<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the big names of the southern Rh\u00f4ne is Ch\u00e2teau Rayas in Ch\u00e2teaneuf-du-Pape, even further removed from \u00a320 than the above examples. But Ch\u00e2teau Rayas is managed by Emmanuel Reynaud who lives and makes the wine at Ch\u00e2teau des Tours<\/a><\/span><\/strong> at Sarrians, a village between Ch\u00e2teaneuf-du-Pape and Vacqueyras, entitled to neither monicker, hence the apparently lowly C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne appellation.<\/p>\n

Grapes\u00a0& Tasting Note<\/strong><\/h3>\n

65% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 15% Cinsault<\/strong>. It\u2019s everything a Rh\u00f4ne red should be \u2013 deep, seductive berry fruit with a generous helping of spice. It manages to be both full and rich, and supple and silky. Alongside all the hearty generosity of classic Rh\u00f4ne wines, there is a more subtle seductive charming texture to the wine.<\/p>\n

As Charles\u00a0says in our official tasting note, \u201cit is as close as Grenache can get to Pinot Noir in some ways\u201d<\/em><\/span> \u2013 I know what he means.<\/p>\n

Buy Online or in our London Shops<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In order that you know what he means, pick up a bottle\u00a0at your nearest LEA & SANDEMAN shop<\/a><\/span><\/strong> or place\u00a0your order on-line.\u00a0Do remember that\u00a0you are free to mix and match<\/strong> your case of wine and, so long as it\u2019s got 12 bottles in it, you only pay the case price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
