If you find it hard to imagine how Southern Rhone wines can smell of Mediterranean herbs then you need to try this very striking Vacqueyras. It marries the herby character with a full body, crisp tannins and a zesty freshness. Quite serious dry tannins at the bold finish. A cuvee of 70% grenache with 20% syrah and the rest a mix of mourvedre, cinsault and carignan. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. ... More details

A fine, delicate style, light in tannin, with high acidity. Lovely piercing freshness and crunchy redcurrant fruit, finishing with some bay leaf bitterness.

Rated 90 by Wine Spectator
A perfumed, lifted style, with mineral purity pushing through violet, cherry and supple plum flavors. Lush and supple, with pencil shavings invigorating acidity to shore up the midpalate. The finish is marked by grilled sandalwood and incense. Drink now through 2028.
Vinous Media
Given the challenging vintage conditions, the 2021 Vacqueyras Cuvée Azalaïs is a success. Medium-intensity violet petals mingle with ripe red fruits and hints of mint. Medium-bodied and round, this 2021 red concludes with drive on the bright finish.

Region: Rhone Valley

There are few wine regions in the world with a history as long and illustrious as that of the Rhone Valley in France. For over two thousand years, wines have been produced in this region, benefited by the excellent, mineral-rich soils of the region, and the varied climate which allows a wide range of grape varietals to grow. The Rhone Valley is now split into two quite separate regions, with the north part being characterized by its cooler, continental climate and the limited number of grape varietals grown, and the southern sub-region being perfect for growing a wide range of grapes, and producing an exciting number of different wine styles. The Rhone Valley is associated with elegant, flavorful wines, and certain grape varietals such as Viognier and Syrah, which are adept at expressing the finer features of their terroir.
