Famille Perrin, Cuvée Perrin, Côtes du Rhône, France 2022

The second wine from the Perrin family in this selection of recommendations, underlining their talent at producing reliable, approachable and good-value wines for the high street. This time a red Côtes du Rhône, a solid choice for a barbecue that would cope well with an array of grilled meats. It's chunky and medium-bodied, with blackberry and plum fruit, a savoury, meaty edge, and a subtle charcoal note. Partially aged in oak. Mix-six price: £10.50
