-35%Pour this when you want red wine without the homework. It's cherry-bright, loaded with ripe berry fruit, and finishes round and sweet, so there's no grippy, dry-your-mouth thing going on. Chill it down, and it's the bottle that wins over the friend who swears they "don't like red." Perfect for a chill night in, a slice of chocolate cake, or just because it's half past wine.
Lift the glass and it's all juicy red berries, strawberry and ripe cherry, with a little warm spice hiding underneath. On the palate it's soft and round, properly sweet but not syrupy, with barely any tannin to get in the way. It glides into a smooth, velvety finish that leaves you reaching for the next sip. Easy company, zero fuss.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It comes from Barton & Guestier, better known as B&G, one of the oldest wine houses in Bordeaux. They've been at it since 1725, started by an Irishman, Thomas Barton, who set up shop in France and built one of the country's great wine names. This sweet red is their crowd-pleaser: a blend grown across France's sunny Mediterranean south, made to be friendly rather than fancy.
