The Independent on Sunday/Chateau Maris Wine Club

Try a wonderful Grenache that goes beautifully with any meal

The Independent on Sunday has teamed up with organic wine specialists, Vintage Roots, to offer you a great deal on Chateau Maris, 2007, Old Vine Grenache.

Robert Eden says: "The Grenache is a dark-cherry colour with a soft plum bouquet. On the palate, fresh violets open into ripe cherry with a silky satisfying roundness. A very complete wine matching a wide variety of foods"

Terry Durack, The Independent on Sunday New Review restaurant reviewer, says: "There is something very likeable about this wine; it's relaxed and versatile with loads of character, a touch of pepper and a fresh hit of plums and ripe berries. I find it less tannic than the average Minervois, with a softness and naturalness that makes it extremely useful for summer entertaining. You could throw this at everything from platters of cured hams, terrines and pâtés, and hard and semi-soft cheeses, right through to grilled lamb cutlets and warm roast-chicken salad. It's even rich enough for the more rustic crisp-skinned duck confits of its native south-western France."
