Weekday Wines

L'Arpenty produces just a single wine, so it gets plenty of care and attention. Red and green pepper on the nose, with spice and redcurrant fruit. An enjoyable, easy-drinking style, with firm fruit and tannins forming the backbone, and more spice on the finish. 4stars, 17 points.

Two strong efforts from this traditionally run estate include the 2007 Gigondas, which exhibits a dark plum/garnet color as well as a sweet nose of bouquet garni, black currants, cherries, and spring flowers. Round, pure, and medium to full-bodied with luscious fruit and a heady finish, it should drink well for 7-8 years. 88-90, drink 2009-17.

...from tank Tour Vieille's Grenache-Carignan blend 2009 Collioure La Pinede displays a flatteringly caressing texture and seamless ripeness of strawberry and black raspberry allied to hints of inner-mouth florality and a finishing touch of bitter herbs. While not terribly complex, it is exceptionally polished, buoyant, and brimming with primary juiciness for its vintage. I expect it will perform well from bottle for at least 3-4 years. 89-90. Drink 2011-2015.

Maxime Graillot, the son of Alain Graillot, has his own wine projects, and these are his offerings under the Domaine des Lises label. Readers looking for a bistro-styled Crozes-Hermitage should check out the 2010 Crozes-Hermitage Equinoxe, which is already in bottle and finished with a screw cap. It is one of those exuberantly fruity, delicious wines that tastes like Syrah with light tannins, enough acidity for focus and plenty of complex berry, herb and spice characteristics. Drink it during its first several years of life.

50 Best Winter Whites - White Under £10

By Jane MacQuitty - The Times on Saturday, 03/12/2011. (Posted December 2011)

Another terrific southern French white, indication géographique protégée bottle: the new term for a vin de pays-level wine. Both terms continue to pop up on labels. Never mind, concentrate on this Vin de Pays des Côteaux de l'Ardèche's delicious, soft, ripe, smoky, spiced peach and Braeburn apple flavours. This festive satellite Rhône valley white is a blend of grenache, ugni blanc and clairette grapes.

50 Best Winter Whites - White Under £10

By Jane MacQuitty - The Times on Saturday, 03/12/2011. (Posted December 2011)

Wine drinkers may be tempted to dismiss this as one of those quirky mountain whites that tase glorious on holiday but thin and weedy at home. Far from it. The Savoie's jacquère grape, vinified at low temperatures in stainless steel, has a fine floral bouquet and some unusual tart, lemon peel, Cox's apple and kiwi fruit flavours. Serve this restrained (11 per cent alcohol) white as an unusual apéritif.

This spritely white is made from aligote, chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc, a cocktail of zingy white grapes that entrances the senses. Drink as an aperitif or with goats cheese starters or crustacea.
