Lichine Le Coq Rouge

The earthy undertones in this blend really come through on the finish, making it feel more complex than your typical red. I opened a bottle with roast chicken last night, and the syrah-grenache combo was a perfect match.

The spicy fruit is so well-balanced with that earthy undertone—perfect for a chilly evening. I opened it with a simple pasta dish and it held its own beautifully. Definitely grabbing another bottle for the holidays.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the syrah and grenache work together in this blend—the spicy fruit really comes through. The earthy hint in the finish makes it feel more sophisticated than most wines at this price point. Already ordered another bottle for next weekend.
