Vacqueyras used to be a côtes du rhône villages. But thanks to the quality of its wines, the area was granted cru status in 1990. Winemaker sebastien jaume brings out the best of the region’s bold style in this organic bottling. His family have been making exceptional rhône wines for almost 200 years. So all those generations of experience mean only the finest fruit make the cut. It’s a blend of grenache, syrah and cinsault grown on the esteemed les garrigues plateau – a prime spot for growing flavourful grapes that ripen to perfection. You’ll find it rich and velvety with notes of black fruits, garrigue herbs and pepper. Its supple tannins and savoury character make it an excellent match for grilled red meats – especially lamb with fragrant rosemary.
