François Chartier a renowned journalist and Sommelier wrote this on www.Cyberpress.ca website on the 29 October 2008 :
"If you are a fan of roast lamb, then you should
try this. Stuff the leg a shoulder of lamb with pureed black olives and serve it with the surprising blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre of the famous La Vieille Ferme Côtes du Ventoux Rouge 2006. It is hard to miss this one even in a vintage like 2006. Less complexity and less deepness th
an the 2005, this wine is aromatic, juicy with strong tannins that will disappear if you decide to serve it with a meat served with Olives." …and we liked it!
The match with black olives is obvious and gives the wine a sensation of intense red fruit. A real pleasure!
At Beaucastel’s kitchens, we tried a roasted farmed chicken with garlic, the match works but the olives were missing!
Soon these two recipes will be online.
