The vineyards of Vacqueyras spread between garrigue and stones. This terroir gives birth to a wine with character, lots of red fruit aromas and elegant tanins.
This Vacqueyras is mainly made from Grenache and Syrah grapes.
The vines are located in the villages of Vacqueyras & Sarrians on soils of alluvial deposits and stony terraces.
Harvest at optimum ripeness. The wine is stored in vats immediately in order to preserve aromas. The fermentation on skins lasts 3 weeks for an optimal extraction. The temperatures are strictly controlled (30°C maximum). The wine is racked off and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Then it is placed in vats during 12 months before bottling. Ageing in bottle for 6 months.
What is notable for the 2017 vintage: given the very high temperatures during the harvest period, the challenge was to preserve all the aromatic potential and freshness of the grapes. Therefore we harvested very early in the morning and were able to use cooling facilities in the cellar if the temperature of the grapes exceeded 20°C when arriving in the winery.

Brilliant colour with purple highlights. Elegant nose with aromas of "garrigue" and black olive "tapenade". Seductive and silky palate with notes of black cherry and plum with delicate tannins. A subtly spicy finish.
It will pair nicely with roasted guinea fowl with olives and lamb stew. Enjoy it now and over the next 8 years.
Standing guard at the top of the village, the church of Vacqueyras is named after the apostle Bartholomew.
