\nReview: <\/strong>‘MiP stands for Made in Provence, a brilliant range of wines produced by Guillaume and Virginie Philip. I love the Classic for its silkiness. A great house Provence ros\u00e9. The (more expensive) Premium is fantastic too.’<\/em><\/p>\n

\nReview: <\/strong>‘Open and intense on the nose, filling the nostrils with jasmine, lillies and white blossom. It oozes with juicy peaches dunked into the honeypot. There is a sweet delicacy on the palate, and a slightly oily texture fills the mouth. An ounce of bitterness adds interest on the finish. The acidity isn’t as high as initially expected, but it’s a nice drop.

\nReview: <\/strong>‘Disctinctly orange-coloured in the glass, with an intense and beguiling bouquet. There’s a definite savoury element to the fore: lanolin, hay and a touch of smoke. The palate is enticing, fiery, with ginger and candied orange peel dripping from the glass. The flavours evolve as they float across the tongue – now dried orange, now almond, now panettone. It’s rich and thick in the mouth and reminds me of apricot jam or marmalade. The acidity could be a little higher to sweet away this sweetness, but it feels in balance.

\n2019 ANJOU ROUGE Sur La Butte Ch\u00e2teau de Plaisance<\/strong>
\n\u00a323.50 | \u00a321.25<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nReview: <\/strong>‘Most of the en primeur hype is reserved for the members of the exclusive club of crus class\u00e9s (literally classed growths) that occupy the top tier of Bordeaux. This club has been set in stone for getting on for 170 years, with the 59 top ch\u00e2teaux of the M\u00e9doc (plus one from Graves) in the Left Bank region south of the Garonne River being fixed in divisions from Premier Cru (the top five estates including Latour and Lafite) to Cinqui\u00e8me Cru (the bottom 18) since the ranking was drawn up for the Exposition Universelle de Paris in 1855. It\u2019s hard, especially in good vintages (such as 2020 seems, on my limited tasting, to be), to find value in that Top 60. But there are excellent wines to be found in the next level down, with the best Cru Bourgeois, such as Cambon La Pelouse\u2019s 2015, offering classically elegant yet deep red wines that will age and improve for many years.’<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u00a330.95 | \u00a327.75<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nReview: <\/strong>‘This Spanish red wine is made from the monastrell grape that\u2019s native to eastern Spain (it\u2019s also known as mourvedre in France). As the name implies, it\u2019s organically grown by a group of farmers who originally came together in a collective in Yecla in Murcia with a single-minded ambition to produce great wines.
\nSubtle but spicy it brings a taste of the aromatic herbs that surround the vineyards to the table in a pleasing and balanced way, with lots of cherry and red fruit flavours on the tongue. And with this box being the equivalent of four bottles it\u2019s more than competitively priced.’<\/em><\/p>\n
