Terroirs d'exception
An organic blend of AOC Vacqueyras from very old vines of the appellation !
note
91/100 – PARKER
“A blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, the 2019 Vacqueyras delivers garrigue-accented notes of blackberries, blueberries and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it shows more freshness than some of the other 2019s from Vignon, while the tannins are ripe and supple, turning silky on the finish. “
90-92/100 – JEB DUNNUCK
“Starting with the base 2019 Vacqueyras, this beauty offers a plump, medium to full- bodied, expansive style loaded with notions of red and blue fruits, peppery herbs, and garrigue. With loads of fruit, a ready-to-go, upfront, sexy style, and a great finish, it should certainly be an outstanding wine and have 7-8 years, if not a decade, of prime drinking.”
92/100 – JAMES SUCKLING
“Ripe-plumbaked-blueberry lavender, licorice and nutmeg aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Concentrated with a deliciously creamy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.”
16+/20 – ROBINSON
“Tasted blind. Richness to the nose, sweet fruit and nice perfumed garrigue note. Good weight of fruit and fine tannins. Appealing easy style. Drink : 2020-2016”
