‘Yes, we are all doomed to die. But wine won’t do us in’

25 WINES FOR A LONG SUNDAY LUNCH • Banish all thoughts of the working week looming ahead, and indulge in one of those lazy Sunday meals that extend long into the afternoon, or even the evening. Which gives you ample time to enjoy some great wine choices – but what to serve? You won’t go far wrong with any of our 25 top-value recommendations…

Anjou future A Chenin renaissance • It’s a grape variety that has the ability to produce excellent wines in many styles, and now Chenin Blanc’s Loire heartland producers are putting a renewed faith in its dry wines

Southern Rhône 2022 • The hot, dry and sometimes stormy conditions were problematic in places at times during the 2022 season. Where successful, crops were healthy and there are good wines to be found, if not always for the long term – pay heed to drinking windows and our expert’s advice

Ataste of the top 2022 southern Rhônes • These 40 wines are listed by commune, then by score, then alphabetically by producer, and are a selection based on quality, value or interest from the 223 recommended by Matt Walls from the southern Rhône in 2022. Some are still being aged in barrels or are not yet bottled, hence some prices, stockists or alcohol levels are not yet known. Contact specialist merchants for latest availability and offers

Bodegas CARO The next level • This Franco-Argentinian partnership between two highly renowned winemaking families was founded in 1999. Today, the Mendoza winery is led by the talented daughters of the two men who founded it, and a definitive step is being taken towards the creation of an Argentinian grand cru

2021 CLARET RETASTED IN BOTTLE • Despite fears at the time of a potential disaster of a year, the 2021 Bordeaux vintage has ultimately yielded a number of gorgeous wines that will delight Bordeaux drinkers who appreciate freshness and energy, not to mention the notably moderate alcohol levels

LIRAC AOC Energy within • A southern Rhône Cru where biodiversity and a vibrant community of winemakers bring terroir to life

ATARANGI • Among the very first to recognise the viticultural potential of Martinborough on New Zealand’s North Island, Ata Rangi has built a reputation for serious, ageworthy Pinot Noir
