Maxime Magnon 'Campagnès' Corbières 2019, Languedoc-Roussillon, France - 1.5L
£72
Wine can be intimidating, especially when sharing with a non-enthusiast. Campagnès Corbières is the perfect choice to sway the thought process of a vinoskeptic, offering an effortless drinkable combination of dark berries, leather, vanilla and plump, blushing red fruits. Dry and spicy on the palate, this wine is just as appealing now as it will surely be in multiple years. Sometimes, there is a lot to be said for eschewing excessive complication in favour of approachability. Thankfully, this vintage offers both. There is plenty to enjoy here, whether you're a seasoned veteran or curious beginner.
