Lively roses. AOC (1971), ~1,200 ha on the eponymous village (Vaucluse), limestone and clay-sandy soils, ages 5-15 years.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Tired
Wine that is too old, faded or has suffered from handling such as racking or bottling. In the first case it is too late, in the second case the wine must be put to rest for a few weeks in the cellar.
