Chateau du Champ des Treilles Vin de France Rouge 2022

Tiffany Nguyen — Nice find from France

7/10

Saw this listed as a Vin de France which I've learned means they do their own thing outside the usual appellation rules, and honestly it works. Fresh, fruity, well balanced. Had it with lamb chops and it was a great match. Not life-changing but I'd happily drink it again.

Ethan Cooper — Really surprised by this one

8/10

Picked this up from my local wine shop on the guy's recommendation and really glad I did. It's got lovely fruit that just keeps opening up the longer it sits in your glass — I actually liked it way more after about half an hour. Great with a slow-cooked beef stew on a Sunday.

Elena Morozova — Solid red, fair price

7/10

Bought a couple of bottles for a dinner party and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Nice fruity nose, not too heavy despite being 14%, and it's got a clean finish that doesn't hang around too long. At £24 it's a decent shout for when you want something a step up from the usual supermarket stuff.
