Wine of the Month - Three Co-op Wines For Valentine's

Three Co-op wines for Valentine's day

Tradition has it that Valentine's wines should be pink and / or fizzy. Some however, may  prefer to defy custom and go with a wine that is more seasonally-appropriate.

The rosé has an award, the Rhône is blended by an MW and the Bollinger is just a class act in its own right.

Bollinger NV Champagne Gift Pack (£34.99 reduced from £44.99 from the 3 February until 23 February inclusive) toasty brioche and fresh orchard fruits with nutty-creamy oatmeal; well structured and persistent. Elegant, substantial and complex. Good.

The Co-operative Truly Irresistible Pic St Loup Rosé 2014 (£6.99) Pale with red berry fruits, freshness and minerality. Elegant, precise and adept. Good.

Les Quatre Seigneurs Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2014 (£8.99) Red and dark fruits, dried green herbs and spice; big and warming (in a European sort of way) with freshness. Good.
