VACQUEYRAS WHITE

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: This 6 varietals blending boasts an attractive amber color, a testimony of its maturation in barrels, while expanding a complex bouquet of exotic fruits enhanced by a few floral notes on a woody background. The mouth rejoices with the fruit on a rich full body blossoming on a finish with toasted views developing roasting notes ... A great wine wine with character ...
