WINE OF THE WEEK: Nuit de Lumières Petit Verdot 2023, Pays d’Oc, France

£9.99, House of Townend


There’s nothing complicated about this week’s red wine and that’s the point. It’s just a joy to drink – a comforting hug of juicy plum, blackberry and black cherry fruit, a whiff of violets, a dash of spicy liquorice and a splash of black tapenade. All it asks is that you fill your glass, sit back and relax.


It may be undemanding but it’s not lacking in interest. Petit Verdot is a grape variety that you don’t see going it alone as often as you meet it in blends, especially in Bordeaux, but it is now on the increase globally thanks to its late-ripening habit in our climatically warming world.


Philippe Lebrun, the winemaker behind Nuit de Lumières, is a Burgundy-trained Languedoc native with an insider’s knowledge of where the best parcels of vines are. The grapes are picked in the cool of the night and vinified traditionally with maturation in concrete tanks to showcase the fruit and deliver the satin-smooth texture.


This is the kind of wine to take to your holiday cottage or next camping trip, knowing that it’s going to fall in with everyone (it’s vegetarian and vegan) and every barbecue or contemplative star-gazing evening. More specifically, it can be paired with steak, barbecued beef short ribs, pork belly, chorizo, lamb, moussaka (vegetarian or meat), tagines, beetroot risotto, cooked red pepper dishes. or vegetarian chilli. 12.5%. Empty bottle weight: 406g.

While a more comprehensive drift hunters definition may broaden the range of possibilities, it also increases the potential for complaints over excessive ambiguity and vagueness, similar to the definition outlined in the PFUTP Regulation.
