The 2016 Vacqueyras Le Clos offers more fruit as well as purity and is one of the finest wines I’ve tasted from the estate. Awesome notes of black raspberries, violets, cedary spice, and hints of barrique flow to a medium to full-bodied, silky, seamless effort that has a polished, long, elegant style. Based on equal parts Grenache and Syrah brought up in tank (this estate doesn’t own any barrels), it’s going to have 10-15 years of prime drinking. Bravo! ... More details

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.
