As the name suggests, <strong>a 7-hour leg of lamb<\/strong> and a dish cooked at a low temperature, generally 120\u00b0 for 7 hours. This cooking method allows the meat to cook gently, resulting in a tender, highly aromatic dish. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Several variations are possible, depending on the choice of spices or herbs used. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In any case, choose a full-bodied, warm and spicy wine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/chateauneuf-du-pape\/clos-st-jean-2012.html\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Chateauneuf du pape - Clos St Jean 2012<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Made from 60% of Grenache aged in concrete vats, this Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape is surprisingly fruity and round. The majority grape variety brings black fruit notes and density to the wine, while the other grape varieties (Syrah, Mourv\u00e8dre, Cinsault), aged in barrels, add substance and complexity. This wine is perfect for a slightly spicy leg of lamb, accompanied by strong spices. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/clos-saint-jean\"><strong>&gt; Clos St jean in stock<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comptoirdesmillesimes.com\/saint-emilion\/chateau-simard-2010.html\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Saint Emilion Grand Cru - Ch\u00e2teau Simard 2010<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Owned by the Vauthier family, who also own the Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9 A Ch\u00e2teau Ausone, this Saint Emilion Grand Cru is predominantly Merlot. This grape variety gives the wines a velvety, round mouthfeel. Barrel aging adds depth and power to this cuv\u00e9e, making it a perfect accompaniment to richly flavored meats.
