Which wine is best served with dinner as a host

The “Fine Food” label spans across the entire Coop collection. There are also six wines that are allowed to bear the seal of quality. A Spanish red wine from Ribera del Duero, a French red Châteauneuf du Pape, a slightly sparkling Italian Moscato d’Aste, a classic Blanc de Noires champagne, and two Swiss white wines: Chasselas from Canton Vaud and an excellent Petit Arvin from Valais.

Valais can play with adults

Says Patrick Walbin, owner of Chai de Baron baby arvin It is a journey of discovering the nose and palate. The winery in Bramois VS, which borders directly on a historic stone bridge, can count on the noble “terroir”. The vineyards of 16 hectares stretch along the sunny terraces of the Rhone, and their arid soil guarantees the exceptional minerals and exquisite salty taste of the wine. That’s why Walpen calls him Cru «Valais du Rhône».

Tempranillo in the illustrious circle

wine region Ribera del Duero It symbolizes Spain’s rise to wine Olympus. Here comes the Tempranillo national grape on its own, as confirmed by Paco Rodro, founder and owner of the Bodega “Bajo de los Cabellanes”. In 1996, he fulfilled a dream and began producing varietal wines from Spain’s leading grape, known locally as Tinto Fino. Grapes are harvested from individual plots with great accuracy at the optimum harvest time. Hanging ‘Reserva’ must be stored for at least three years — at least one of them in French oak barrels — before it can be sold.

Of course, France should not be missing

History of the world famous wine region Chateauneuf du Pap It dates back to the 14th century, when the Pope, then based in Avignon in southern France, made this area his summer residence. The small but robust Domaine de la Côte de l’Ange is produced on 14 hectares using vines that are at least forty years old on average. Already during the harvest season, the owners couple Corinne and Yannick Gasparri pay close attention to the best possible quality of grapes by hand sorting them according to papal tradition. The wine is made in so-called concrete eggs before the mixture of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre is aged in large wooden barrels.

In order to give you an overview of the special features of the drops and the dishes you can combine them with, I tasted all six wines.

These are the six “fine foods” wines

salty
Coop Fine Food Valais AOC Petite Arvine Coeur de Baronfor 19.15 instead of 23.95 francs

This is Petite Arvine at its best. Already in the nose this wine is strength. The tempting flavors of stone fruit and ripe apple combined with the nuances of ground stone and fresh watercress. On the palate, the wine shows its full potential. The sweet and bitter hints of roasted almonds create the perfect balance for a truly long-lasting finish with a drinkable saltiness. Älpler magron or cheese spaetzle goes just as well with Valais drop as this spicy potato salad.

Chocolate
Coop Fine Food Ribera del Duero DO Reserve Pago de los Capellanesfor 27.15 instead of 33.95 francs

This wine pays homage to the Spanish queen of grapes and shows the full potential of Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. Gorgeous nose, very typical of the variety, some chocolate, roasted cocoa beans and a lot of blackberries dominate the bouquet. Blackberry, cassis, black cherry. Very dense on the palate, with ripe and delicate tannins that do not dry out at all. The ending is very long and exciting! This noble wine is a dream with lamb sauce, which is stewed a little longer and boiled with tomatoes.

flour
Coop Fine Food Moscato d’Asti DOCG Fiori d’Arancio La Spinettafor Instead of 11.95 francs instead of 14.95 francs

This incredibly sweet, sour, and refreshing Moscato is definitely worth a sin. A good Moscato shouldn’t be missing from any wine cellar anyway. Fruit and flower notes dominate the nose. Lots of citruses, some pear, but also fragrant musky notes characterize the intense bouquet. A light lather on the palate, with an unobtrusive sweetness and a long-lasting finish. Serve with panettone or goat cheese with honey.

character head
Coop Fine Food Féchy Premier Grand Cru Domaine de Fischerfor 12.95 instead of 16.20 francs

This wine impressively demonstrates the power of the Swiss national grape Chasselas. In the grape-growing region «La Côte» in Vaud, it is at its best. Calcareous and clay soils give wine minerals and fullness at the same time. On the nose, it amazes the senses with fruity notes of white peach and quince jelly as well as floral notes of linden blossom and fresh grass. Medium acidity on the palate, some exude sweetness and a beautiful, long-lasting finish. Serve with fish crackers in tartar sauce or drink it a little cold with an aperitif.

the complex
Coop Fine Food Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC Domaine de la Côte de l’Angefor 25.55 instead of 31.95 francs

Shatunov as written in books. The nose is very stiff. Red berries, some fruit compote, and pepper spice dominate the bouquet. This wonderful drop is soft and mouth filling on the palate. The finish is very long and suggests excellent quality. Season the lamb chops with strong herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, and the full-bodied wine from the Southern Rhone really comes on its own. Wine is a great accompaniment to food which is a great treat for every wine lover.

jubilation
Coop Fine Food Champagne AOC Blanc de Noirs Boizelfor .44.95 francs

Blanc de Noire extra class! The nose is still a little reserved at first, but then notes of hazelnut dough, aromas of strawberry and apple and chocolate nuances appear. On the palate with an incredibly fresh sour texture, a very soft mousse and a really long-lasting finish. Champagne is the ultimate accompaniment to food, so feel free to open up the foam with stewed chicken or salmon tagolelli.
