I'm sure we'll be visiting a few more of the 400+ Casino supermarkets over the next two years. One thing I've learnt is that I'll be taking a photo of each wine we buy BEFORE we take it off the shelf. That way I'll know the price and the deal I scored.
While more research is required I'm starting to think that this is a Casino Own Label similar to the concept that many UK supermarket chains practice.
COTES OF PROVENCE 2015 ROSE 13.5% a/v
This is the complete mystery wine giving me no clue who the producer is. It's a pretty little wine with a pale blush, delicate palate and a pleasing crisp acidity. I'm pretty sure we scored a "buy one, get one free" deal in which case 2.40 Euro is a 5/5 outstanding buy. I would not want to be paying 4.8 Euro
CLUB DES SOMMELIERS 2015 AOC CORSE ROSE 12.5% a/v 4.5 Euro
While more research is required I'm starting to think that this is a Casino Own Label similar to the concept that many UK supermarket chains practice.
This is a really classy triple red blend [one is Grenache, the others unknown and unreadable] from Corsica, Colour is pale salmon while the palate has more weight than most rose we've encountered this year. This is a definite food wine that complemented our steamed local mussels superbly
4.5 rating from me
