March: What's in the box...

Our friends at Stylus Vinyl, who send out monthly subscription boxes of classic albums on vinyl paired with a great bottle of wine chosen by us, have nailed it once again.

This month’s album is the sensational London Calling by The Clash. A classic in the true sense of the word, it is a commentary on some of the social issues of 70s Britain including racism and drug use. The Clash transcended the punk scene with this album and opened it to a far wider audience with their eclectic blend of punk, peppered with hints of jazz, rock, ska, reggae, pop and even folk.

To go with the album we’ve gone with a real favourite. The Chateau du Vieux Parc Cuvée l’Heritage Corbieres is an enigmatic but forthright blend of classic southern French grapes – Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, and is an ideal match for this month’s album. Both album and wine have a untamed, wild edge, but with playful accessibility.  Both stay inherently true to their roots.
