Yapp Brothers wine merchants - press review of Chinon L'arpenty 2009

July 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Amanda Moorhouse in the Shooting Gazette August 2010 says (writing to match Amy Willcock's recipe of grouse in plum sauce):

"I've chosen a glorious velvety wine with which to celebrate the Glorious Twelfth - a Chinon from the Loire Valley. L'Arpenty 2009 - http://www.yapp.co.uk/Wine-List/Loire-Wines/Chinon-Wines/Chinon--l-Arpenty-2009/ - is a medium-bodied red wine which is versatile enough to be drunk on it's own, due to the refreshing lack of tanins, but also admirally matches Amy's mouth-watering combination of plums and grouse.

Made with Cabernet Franc grapes, this wine is youthful and fruity, with a nose that transports you to hedgerows full of juicy blackberries.You can serve it lightly chilled, if the stars are all aligned, should suit the August weather perfectly.

It costs £11.25 from Decanter magazine's award-winning specialist wine merchant, Yapp Brothers - http://www.yapp.co.uk, who specialise in wines from the Loire."
