Plaisirs de loire, Brut Rose from Saumur, Loire Valley, France

A dry roses from Carrefour at €6. Is it any good well there are are a few aromas of faint red fruit, but on the the flavour front there are red currants and hints of strawberry and quite a lot of cream soda.

As long as you don’t expect to gold medal aromas and flavours this is actually really excellent value. It’s not Bouvet Ladubay sparkling but it’s good.

Loads of red fruits on the nose with a chunk of  leather following on the aroma side, for flavour you get spices, floral undertones and cherries.

It’s a simple no nonsense red wine from the south of France, near the Pyrenees. If it wasn’t for the price I could put this as the red wine for every day, but at EUR22 a bottle it’s just too much.
