Chateau Bonhomme, Mademoiselle, Minervois, 2017, France

South West France produce lots of wine and this blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Cinsault from Chateau Bonhomme is half decent. Bold, dry and plenty of tannins. There’s spice, oak and lots of red fruit on the nose that come through on the flavour and are join with plum and pepper notes.

Its a good wine which needs food to really balance out some of the harshness. Steak or tomato based foods are the ones to go for with this red.
