Picture sweet, juicy blackcurrant riding a soft cushion of bubbles. That's JP Chenet Cassis. It's the bottle you grab when the night calls for something fun and a little flirty, not serious wine talk. Berry-pink in the glass, gentle fizz, dangerously easy to keep pouring. Chill it down, crack it open, and let the good mood handle itself.
The nose hits you first: ripe blackcurrant, a little wild red berry, sweet and inviting. On the sip it's exactly what it promises. Juicy cassis, soft sweetness, a light tickle of fizz that keeps it lively rather than heavy. There's no bite, no dry finish to brace for. Just fruit, bubbles and a smile. Think blackcurrant squash that grew up and learned to party.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
JP Chenet is France's quiet world-beater. It was dreamed up in 1984 by Joseph Helfrich of Les Grands Chais de France, who wanted a wine for everyone instead of the rule-heavy Bordeaux crowd. The signature move is that curved, slant-necked bottle (nicknamed Joséphine) you'd spot across a room. This Cassis version takes their French white wine and flavours it with blackcurrant for an easygoing, fruity fizz. The brand now ships to over 160 countries, and this is one of its most playful pours.
