Vacqueyras ‘Grande Garrigues Organic’ 2017 Alain Jaume, Rhône Valley

Description

Vacqueyras was the second Rhône commune to recognised with ‘cru’ status. A step up from other Rhône reds it’s famed for bold, perfumed reds. The sixth generation of the Alain Jaume family makes the ‘Grande Garrigues’ entirely organically on the most renowned spot of the appellation. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, with a dash of Cinsault, it’s ripe and mouth-filling, with notes of black fruit, garrigue herbs and pepper. Jeb Dunnuck gave it 92 points.
