2023 Domaine Ogereau Vin de France 'L'Enjouée' Rouge, Anjou, France

From: Anjou, Loire Valley, FranceVarietal: Cabernet Franc, Grolleau Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, GamayTaste: On the nose, it presents a floral and spicy bouquet, primarily due to the Grolleau grape, which imparts delicate floral aromas and subtle spice notes. There is a distinctive peppery nuance, adding complexity to the aromatic profile. Gamay enhances these elements with additional floral and spicy undertones, while the Cabernet varieties introduce a fine, infused texture accompanied by crisp red fruit aromas. On the palate, L'Enjouée Rouge follows the nose bouquet. Pairing: For a classic match, consider duck confit with herbs—the richness of the duck will harmonize with the wine’s freshness and spice, while the herbs accentuate its floral undertones. Charcuterie boards featuring cured meats and tangy cheeses are another traditional pairing, with the wine's acidity cutting through the meats' fattiness and balancing the cheese's sharpness.Pasta With Portobello MushroomsBy Mark Bittman A
