Domaine du Grand Prieur Vacqueyras 2020

£21.95

Vacqueyras AOP is situated right next to its more famous brother (CDP) and shares a similar climate. The grapes used are largely similar and the wine from Vacqueyras is astonishingly good. However, this is the best part. Good Vacqueyras is so much cheaper than good Chateauneuf. Domaine du Grand Prieur produce a very good Vacqueyras.

This wine is very aromatic and slightly spicy, with hints of red and black fruit, morello cherries, and violets. It is full-bodied on the palate with smooth, ripe tannin. The beautiful, long aftertaste features hints of garrigue and liquorice.

For over a century, their philosophy has been to let the magnificent terroir of the land express its full potential. This approach determines everything they do in the vineyards and winery: minimal use of fertilizer, picking the grapes at full ripeness, and a combination of traditional and modern winemaking methods. This approach to winemaking has gained them the ‘Vigneron Engages‘ badge, which is the association for sustainable winegrowing.
