Château Vaugelas 2004
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009In the race to taste the latest “holy grail” Bordeaux vintage, or “super-domaine” from Burgundy it’s easy to overlook other wine regions of France that can offer much better value. For example Languedoc.
After experimenting with some Fitou several years ago I was left with the impression that wines from this most Mediterranean of French régions, were thick heavy, spicy and coarse. Clearly this was because I was drinking the cheapest possible produce. But then I tried a cracking 2003 Corbières that got my juices flowing, both in the brain and elsewhere…
This Château Vaugelas 2004 came from Costco at £6.75 plus VAT. That is either £7.93 or £7.76 depending on whether you bought it before or after 1 December 2008. I am proud to have made the marginal contribution of 17 pence to help my government sort out the banking crisis.
