2010 Vacqueyras, Les Aubes, Domaine Santa Duc

Vacqueyras, Les Aubes, Domaine Santa Duc
A few miles down the D7, Yves nurtures old vines in the appellation of Vacqueyras. Earth, aniseed, licorice and plenty of attitude; a powerful, peppery wine, made for red meat and game.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

The Duke of Gigondas,Yves Gras, is a charismatic and eloquent champion for these two great villages, easing them out of the shadow of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and into the light of a recognition which is far removed from an outdated reputation for rustic tannins and indulgent alcohol levels. The recognition garnered by the estate is evidenced by a most impressive new tasting room, complete with furniture which would not be out-of-place in a Parisian salon. Fame has its cost however; at the end of our visit a huge lorry, collecting wine to go to Holland, crushed a hundred year-old olive tree, much to the chagrin of M Gras and the eldery M Gras père, who rushed out to castigate the driver with some very colourful patois.

Vacqueyras, Les Aubes, Domaine Santa Duc
The 2010 Vacqueyras Les Aubes seems cut from the same mold, only with a slightly more streamlined personality. Perhaps the acids are more tart, and it has good freshness and elegance to it.
