The wine region of Vacqueyras
Southern Rhône cru neighbouring Gigondas: signature Grenache as king red (≥50%) with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault - fleshy and spicy with notes of ripe black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry), garrigue, kirsch, liquorice, pepper and a balsamic touch, firm tannins and a long finish (14-15°), between the power of Gigondas and the elegance of Châteauneuf. Lively rosés and ample whites (Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne). AOC (1990), ~1,450 ha, stony and sandy soils.
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: Stopper (taste of)
A defect in the wine reminiscent of the smell and taste of mouldy cork.
