Summery Wines
Le Bijou de Sophie Valrose Rosé, Cabrières This really pretty blush-coloured wine looks so elegant side by side with this week’s dish. It’s got a lovely appley peachiness to it, and enough edge to work with the rich, savoury duck egg. Read more from Phillip Schofield here.

Jane Macquitty This Weeks Best Buys
Le Bijou de Sophie Valrose Rouge, Cabrières A rich, dusky, 14 per cent alcohol. Back pepper and garrlgue herb-scented, barbecue-loving red from a little-known Languedoc appellation. Mostly Syrah, but topped up with a good dollop of Grenache. Read more here.
