VACQUEYRAS RED
Nestled at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, this provençal scrubland is swamped by sunlight and swept by the Mistral. It has produced richly concentrated grapes since the14th Century. These fruity and powerful wines are a symphony of flavors and fragrances raised to the prestigious level of Cru des Côtes du Rhône since 1990.
CHARACTERISTICS:
The Vacqueyras Seigneur de Lauris is produced from hillsides old vines, which due to their deep rooting and low yield ( 20/22 hl/ha ), deliver grapes with exceptionally high polyphenol content. Its vinification is the subject of a careful selection and special care. It is only after a long maturation in oak casks, and then in bottles in our ageing cellar that you will be able to enjoy its complexity. With an intense and deep garnet color, it will enchant you with the power of its bouquet of mature fruits, spicy notes, roasting or undergrowth depending on the vintages. In mouth, vigorous and penetrating, the length of its aromatic persistence and its buttery smoothness will captivate you.
A wine of exception ... May be opened immediately or forgotten in the cellar in order to develop the wealth of its potential.
