Reviews
"From a village just to the west of Gigondas, the 2019 Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes offers a more medium-bodied, elegant style, with impressive black raspberry and redcurrant fruit, notes of peppery garrigue and spice, silky tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. Tight and compact on the palate, it’s going to benefit from a year or two of bottle age. It's a beautiful wine in the making, though."
