Mathilde Chapoutier Languedoc Rouge

A dry and medium-bodied Grenache and Syrah blend from Languedoc, France. This nuanced wine is proof that affordable wines with depth exist. First appearances reveal a deep garnet color, leading to an intense bouquet of ripe raspberries and blackberries; and, ripe fruit mingles with baking spices on the palate. Bright acidity threads along silky tannins.

Food Pairings: Roast chicken, pasta, grilled sausage, mild cheeses, pizza, skewers of marinated beef or osso bucco; and, for vegetarians or vegans, a mushroom dish.
