At £9.99, this is the bottle you open on a Tuesday evening without thinking twice — and then find yourself finishing before dinner is even on the table. Jean Didier’s Grand Reserve Colombard is southern French white wine at its most immediately appealing: crisp, zesty, and gloriously refreshing, with a vibrant green fruit character and a pungent, almost Sauvignon Blanc-style intensity that gives it a liveliness and personality well beyond its price. Colombard is a grape of real character — naturally high in acidity, bursting with tropical aromas, and producing whites of a freshness and vitality that make them irresistibly thirst-quenching from the first sip to the last. The Grand Reserve is Jean Didier’s finest expression of the variety: a wine that is crisp and zesty on the nose, with tropical fruit and a lovely green, citrus freshness, and a soft, satisfying finish that keeps you coming back. The definition of moreish — and at £9.99, the definition of a brilliant everyday white.
