Technical Details
Description
Nestled at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, this Provencal scrubland is swamped by sunlight and swept by the Mistral. It has produced richly concentrated grapes since the 14th Century. These fruity and powerful wines are a symphony of flavors and fragrances raised to the prestigious level of Cru des Côtes du Rhône since 1990.
Produced from vines growing on a stony plateau and aged in oak for 6 months, this Vacqueyras is characterized by its power, virility and the finesse of its aromas. This wine will marvel you with its sumptuous deep purple color with mauve highlights and its powerful fruity fragrances sprinkled with spice. All the intensity of the nose may be found in mouth, on a background structured by healthy tannins full of masculinity and packed in a full body. The finish is long and opens some late pepper touches that define its specificity.
Estate
"Since 1717, the cultivation of the vine is perpetuated in our family. This tradition and this heritage has become a passion. Even today, we produce our wines in the greatest respect for ancestral traditions, to be able to offer and you return all the authentic flavors of our land. The homestead covers 40 hectares on the plateau Garrigues, a plateau to the west of the appellation, and extends to Chateauneuf du Pape. These soils are prone to low yields of highly concentrated grapes tannins and aromas."
Tasting notes
A deep and brilliant purple color. This wine offers a powerful bouquet of red fruit, accented with delicate spicy notes. The wine is full-bodied, round and structured, but elegant silky tannins.
