Spring equinox inspired wine

Wine of the month – Spring equinox inspired!

Aka The Red which secretly wants to be a Rosé

‘Rouge Clair’, M Chapoutier, Southern Rhone, France 2024

Available from £14.90 from various online retailers:

The Oxford Wine Company, Latitude Wines, Islington Wine, Dulwich Vintners, Fine Wines of Mayfield, The Wine Reserve

Rouge Clair has been one of my greatest wine finds for 2026. It’s just pure joy in a glass and is an innovative new wine from the Rhone’s rockstar producer @m_chapoutier

What is it? 🍷

This juicy and red berry filled Grenache Noire and Syrah blend is a mid-way style between a Rosé and a Red… which is a great option when trying to find a wine during this transitional season!

‼️‼️BUT CONFESSION:

This unoaked wine is MADE to be chilled. Either straight from the fridge or with some ice cubes. Don’t hate me before you try it!

So next time the sun peeks out in London for, like, five minutes… grab some ice, grab Rouge Clair, and pretend we live in the south of France

Cheers Guys and Cheers to longer and hopefully sunnier days!
