MATTHEW JUKES’ WINE LIST

In the mood for zingy whites or fruity reds? You’re in luck with this week’s choice line- up

1

2016 Mâcon-Villages, Chapelle aux Loups, Louis Jadot, Burgundy, France

£11.99, reduced to £8.99 until 20 March, Waitrose

This superb, sleek, elegant chardonnay has been reduced to a bonkers price, so you mustn’t delay in picking up a few bottles. Jadot is one of the most respected houses in Burgundy, and this is a genuinely elite wine.

2

2016 La Piuma, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Italy

£7.99, reduced to £5.99 until 20 March, Waitrose

If you fancy a medium-weight, smooth, plum and black cherrykissed wine with a hearty finish that will not trouble the credit card too much, then look no further. Drink this classy red with James’s NYC Cheeseburger & Fries.

3

2017 Tanners Argentinian Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina

£7.95, Tanners, 01743 234455, tanners-wines.co.uk

Chunky, bold, robust and black fruit-soaked, this jolly malbec is drinking perfectly already, in spite of its youth. It’s another cracker with the Cheeseburger, and this is because it has no unwanted oak or tannin notes getting in the way.

4

2017 Amalaya, Torrontés Riesling, Calchaqui Valley, Salta, Argentina

£10, Marks & Spencer

The most aromatic wine of the week, this modern white celebrates the union of the pineapple-scented torrontés grape and the lime juiceimbued riesling. The results are astounding. Match it with the Chicken ‘Bonne Femme’.
