Made from Cinsault and Grenache, this was a wine that went down incredibly well &#8211; and the orders continue to roll in for this super wine. We visited Puech Haut on the Tour du Vin in 2018 &#8211; and it was nice for the tourists to reminisce on what was a fantastic visit there.<\/p>\n<p>Our second wine for the evening came from 30 minutes down the road from Puech Haut, the other side of Montpellier &#8211; at the more &#8216;old school&#8217; Ch\u00e2teau de l&#8217;Engarran. We tasted the <strong>Les Angelots Rouge 2016<\/strong>, that was a classic Southern French blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Priced at \u00a313.50, this was certainly a great option that can be enjoyed by itself, or with red meat or cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Great scores came in from the tasting panel &#8211; with the Puech Haut coming out on top with a fantastic average score of 8.61 &#8211; with the L&#8217;Engarran red just behind with a score of 7.72.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Janine Sjoblom for becoming the first two time winner of the Canape of the Week competition with her Coquilles St Jacques &#8211; you will see in the photo below, they look excellent.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/waudwines.com\/_archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/southern-french-tasting.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to see the slides from the evening<\/a> &#8211;<\/strong> and we look forward to our Italian Tasting in 2 weeks time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the hottest day of the year so far, we enjoyed a Southern French virtual tasting.
