September’s wine is the 2015 Vidal-Fleury Cotes du Rhone (£9.99 from www.majestic.co.uk).
Jancis Robinson says:
“Grenache with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan. Dark mid crimson with a pale rim. Herbs and balsam on the nose – savoury rather than sweet. And then there is masses of sweetness on the palate but a finish that is fresh and dry. Really great balance and nice neat finish. This is better than many commercial Châteauneufs. VGV” (16.5/20)
