The Vacqueyras appellation is often overshadowed by its illustrious neighbour, Châteauneuf-du-Pape. As Southern Rhône afficionados, we have found that Vacqueyras frequently offers the quality of Châteauneuf at a fraction of the price. The 2020 Lavau is no exception. A gorgeous dark fruit profile is complimented by subtle pepper and violet notes. The texture and purity here are spot-on and this medium-bodied beauty will drink well for 7-8 years.
"Two thousand twenty is a very good vintage in Vacqueyras. Like in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the wines are often well-structured, aromatically complex and have a remarkable sense of harmony." - Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous
I have enjoyed these wines very much - in particular I liked the Belle Vignes which was rich and very flavoursome
The Cabra Cega was a particularly easy drinking quaffing wine.
Still have another 2 bottles left to sample

Great
Great selection, great taste, great value, fast delivery
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
