Must-Try Wines
Well done if you’re almost through dry January or even damp January! Whether beneficial or not, a pause from wine often makes us consider our wine choices. We’re hearing that our customers want better wines and want to make more considered choices. We also hear that wine drinkers are more interested in where their wines come from and their provenance, which is music to our ears!
We’ve always preferred wines from independent makers and those from family-run vineyards. After all, the more passion goes into the winemaking process, the better the wine.
One of our favourite wines from our Château de Parenchère collection is L’Équilibriste Bordeaux Rouge. A fantastic and vibrant red wine, their ‘tour de force’ is made without the addition of sulphites. It’s creating a storm among critics, and the public has highly applauded it.
Concours Prix Plaisir Bettane & Desseauve awarded it a Silver Medal in 2021 and said,
“With L’eEquilibriste, from château de parenchère, the estate takes one more step towards the Bordeaux that we love. Crunchy and delicious, made without added sulphites, from a winery on the way to organic farming respectful of the environment.”
L’Équilibriste Bordeaux Rouge boasts the classic structure of Bordeaux wines with great aromas. It is a beautiful deep purple-red colour with intense nuances of blackcurrant, blackberry, and blueberry and notes of peony and violet on the nose. On the palate, it is round, with crunchy and juicy fruit. Mineral and floral flavours continue on a subtle and silky tannic framework.
L’Équilibriste Bordeaux Rouge is our top wine for 2023, and we love it with roasted vegetables, grilled shellfish or other cold cuts. It’s also ideal for the simple pleasure of drinking because it’s a true Bordeaux wine loved worldwide.
