Wine of the week: Chamonix Rouge 2022: A Rich and Refined Franschhoek Red Blend

Loading player...
Chamonix Rouge is a refined red blend from Chamonix Estate in Franschhoek, crafted from varietals such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot to create a smooth, full-bodied wine. The 2022 vintage is known for its deep ruby colour and expressive aromas of blackcurrant, red berries, gentle spice, and subtle cedar. On the palate it delivers rich fruit flavours balanced with soft tannins and a touch of vanilla, offering both elegance and depth. This versatile blend pairs beautifully with beef, lamb, game, and hearty savoury dishes, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy a rounded, fruit-forward South African red.
