2022 Le Paradou Cinsault Rouge, Château Pesquié

This is an elegant, easy-drinking Cinsault – a grape variety often found in rosé or red blends from the South of France. It combines aromas of red fruit, violets and plum. The palate is fresh and supple, balancing juicy red fruits with notes of dried red berries, savoury spice and a gentle smoky character. Lightly structured, the team at Pesquié suggest pairing it with snails, slow-cooked stews and boeuf bourguignon.
