A Red that’s light and bright
Chartron et Trebuchet, 2010 Macon AOC, 12.5% abv, €12.99 Curious
Wines
Want to try something in
red other than Cabernet Sauvignon, Rioja or Merlot, then why not have a look at
this bright featherweight from the Macon?
It is an easy drinking
fruity red with a little tannic kick, light and with a decent balance. If you don’t
fancy the more full-on reds, this one, a blend of Pinot Noir and the Gamay grape (used extensively
in Beaujolais), is a sound bet.
The general advice for
this Macon, which is probably more of a spring and summer wine, is to drink it
as young as possible. This is the kind of light red that easily fits with a
salad and would be gorgeous with one that includes Ummera smoked chicken.
