"Pure fruit"

"A bigger, richer wine, the 2019 Vacqueyras Ora boasts a deeper purple color and an exceptional nose of ripe blackberry and redcurrant intermingled with lots of garrigue, toasted spices, charcuterie, and peppery notes. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, it has a rich and opulent mid-palate, with plenty of Provençal charm and will be impressive from the outset." (Jeb Dunnuck 2020)

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 11/20/2021

Vacqueyras characterized by its smoothness and finesse. Very fruity and velvety on the palate with subtle flavors of vanilla, leather, and spices. Nice length with well-balanced acidity and a hint of pepper. Rated 3.7 and average value for money as competition is fierce in this €15-17 price range (Xavier Vignon, Sang des Cailloux, Duvernay, Perrin, etc.). Best served at 18°C after two hours of aeration with chili con carne, which complements the spicy and animal notes of this cuvée.
