2022 Vacqueyras, Pavane, La Bastide Saint Vincent, Rhône

Description

Full and rich in black fruit compote and spiced damsons. Powerful and more concentrated than many this year, with similarly high alcohol. Very much a classic expression of Vacqueyras in its muscular tannin and deep concentration. Likely to offer good value.

Drink 2024 - 2029

Critics reviews

Alistair Cooper MW 14.5/20

70% Grenache Noir, 15% Mourvèdre and 15% Syrah. Hand-harvested. Vinification in enamelled concrete vats. Aged in enamelled concrete or steel tanks. Tank sample.

Tasted blind. Violet and spiced notes on the nose. A richness on the mid palate and firm, vertical tannins throughout. Some sweetness and richness – a relatively simple style.

About this wine

Vacqueyras

Vacqueyras

Vacqueyras was the second Côtes du Rhônes Villages to be upgraded to AOC status, and rightly so. These excellent-value wines are like turbo-charged Côtes du Rhônes: dark and rich with the classic herbs and warm peppery spice of the Southern Rhône. Compared to neighbouring Gigondas, they are slightly more restrained and rustic and slightly cheaper. They are made from a minimum 50 percent Grenache.
