Charming and deliciously drinkable now; so focused and precise. Does it have the depth to age? Time will tell. Rounded, fluid and very Burgundian, with fine tannins and good length. 20% whole bunch, aged in amphora and old barrels. No Hommage cuvée will be made this year. ... More details

The 2020 Vacqueyras Cuvée de Lopy is a head turner. Black fruits rise from the glass, added by spicy coriander wafts and cedary complexities. Smooth tannins frame this medium-bodied 2020 red with a solid structure, elevated flavor concentration and refreshing acidity. The finish is both persistent and complex.

The 2020 Vacqueyras Cuvée Lopy is also straight-up terrific, with a slightly more concentrated profile that will benefit from bottle age. Exhibiting a deep purple hue as well as notes of darker cherries, mulberries, peppery herbs, and garrigue, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, has ripe tannins, and a straight, focused profile that needs 2-3 years in the cellar. It's going to have 15 years of overall longevity if you're so inclined.

Region: Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
