I realize it's still effing cold out there and not quite what we're all desperately hoping for weatherwise but...do take heart!Pink wine is here and now, to cheer you on your chilly way!
Especially, 2016 Rose Cuvee d'Andree from Chateau des Charmes, one of my go-to wineries for taste and value.
Dedicated to the vivacious matriarch of C des C, the lovely Madame
Andrée Bosc, wife, Mom and winery goddess. It’s a vibrant beautifully ripe
cran-strawb-cherry sipper, sporting a hint of cedar, red berries and white
pepper, great with food or alone, made totally from Pinot Noir grapes. Food
friendly and versatile. $15.95.
Paul Bosc cut his teeth growing red wines in Burgundy, nuanced,
silky, refined, noted for their wild strawberry, violet and truffle aromas. Feathery
tannins provide structure and ageability.
This new Chateau des Charmes offering, the 2016 Pinot Noir
Estate Grown & Bottled at $16.95 checks all the right boxes.
It’s a logical
pleasure progression from the 100% Pinot Noir-based Rose.
Enjoy with Easter rabbit, wild mushroom risotto, duck breast with foie gras, or braised lamb.
