Pasquiers Grenache Noir

Great! Order, delivered no problem!

I bought a bottle of Pasquiers on a special offer, and loved it. At the beginnibg if lockdown I ordered 6 bottles Red, 6 Rose. Then 12 Red 6 Rose, and recently 12 & 6! Obviously very happy!

One of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world, Grenache (or Garnacha as it is known in Spain) is massively popular in France, putting the G in the GSM (or Rhone blend). This wine is from the Languedoc region (South of France), it's produced by Pasquiers and its 100% Grenache. As a grape, Grenache is known to produce wines which are light in acid, tannins and colour and this is a good example of that. On the nose: it's pleasant enough, it's black fruit, spice and a little herb /floral aroma that I can't place. To taste: you get beautiful black fruit and the lack of acidity and smoothness of the tannins make this extremely drinkable. Add that peppery Rhone spice, a hint of clove and a nice earthy, tobacco like note and you have one seriously moreish drink, but be warned, at 14% abv it will kick you in the pants. In summary, it's a light medium, with a smooth Rhone style and it costs just £7.45 making it exceptionally good value. Would I buy it again? I've literally just placed my next order with Cheers Wine Merchants and it has three of these in it...
