Aldi, Chassaux et Fils Specially Selected Cairanne 2022

A wine that sends bargain-hungry consumers into a frenzy each December, when it’s heavily discounted for a few days, this Rhône blend, led by Grenache, is so much more than a poor man’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape. An enticing nose of damson and plum crumble leads into a smooth and sophisticated summer pudding of forest fruits, with hints of garrigue and a mocha note that would pair perfectly with rosemary roasted chicken.
