Offers that are worth following up.

2007 Taste the Difference Côtes du Rhône-Villages, Maison M.Chapoutier, France

Sainsbury’s, £5.99 down to £3.99 from March 24 until April 13

Quote from Jane MacQuitty

2007 was a good rhône vintage, especially in the south, and Chapoutier is one of the top traditional producers here, which explains why this terrific robust, chunky, inky, grenache-based, 14.5 per cent alcohol rhône, enhanced by one quarter syrah, is so good.

Quote Mel Jones of the '05

This is the 2005, tasted in 2007 Spicy, oaky, lovely smell. Very dry and oaky taste. Some fruit on the end and quite nicely farmyardy. A good example.

The '07 vintage is an early drinking style....a drink now till Christmas, although villages normally last longer, and this has oak to prop it up. Someone could buy one on the less 25% offer this week and check it out.

Bonpas 07, an un-oaked reserve is slowly dipping

I called in at Sains tonight. There was one bottle left of this. Unfortunately virtually all the other wines I'd picked to make up my 6 were gone. I left with one bottle of the Fairtrade Pinotage. I will wait for the £3.99 offer if they get some more in.
