Terroirs d'exception
A blend of AOC Vacqueyras from very old vines of the appellation!
note
91-93/100 – PARKER
“One of the standouts in the portfolio is the 2015 Vacqueyras and it’s a full-bodied, charming, even sexy blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre that’s aged in a combination of one- to three-year-old barrels. Giving up loads of black raspberries, plums, spice box and garrigue, it hits the palate with an expansive, rounded and ripe profile that just begs to be drunk. I expect it will benefit from a year or two of bottle age and shine through 2025.”
91/100 – JAMES SUCKLING
“This has a rich, supple and settled feel, after a couple of years of bottle age, delivering a grounded, red-plum and berry style that holds quite good length. Drink now.”
