2020 Domaine la Grangette 'Cocoriko' Picpoul Noir

From: Cotes de Thau, Languedoc, France Blend: 100% Picpoul Noir Taste: In the glass, it is richly scented with a light, ruby color and flavors of red and black fruits with a saline minerlaity, moderate acidity and juicy tannins. This is a remarkably fresh, lithe and lively red wine with bright notes of Morello cherry, strawberry compote, white and black pepper, and a surprisingly complex hint of black tea. The palate is delicate, fruity and eminently drinkable, especially chilled. If you’re a fan of cru Beaujolais, this unique red is a must try. Bistro wines for the win!Pairing: While we weren’t kidding about the amount of versatility you’ll find in this wine (think everything from lamb burgers to charcuterie and fromage to pizza, bbq, kebabs, meatballs, and socca, to fresh salads, grilled vegetables, soft cheeses and squash or mushroom-based dishes), we’ve been delighted with this seasonal favorite and felt inspired to share the recipe with you: Millie Peartree’s Green Bean Casserole.
