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
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.
