Domaine du Cros, Lo Sang del Pais, Marcillac, France 2020

This keenly priced red is a perfect partner for charcuterie or cassoulet – you might think that it may be too light, judging by the alcohol content, but there’s a depth of rustic, slightly brooding red berry fruit, lively acidity to cut through the fattiness of the meat, and an attractive herby, garrigue twist on the finish. Unoaked, fresh and vibrant, with some life ahead.
