2010 Vacqueyras, Domaine de L'Espigouette

Vacqueyras, Domaine de L'Espigouette
80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre make up this impressive wine. The nose is complex, with peat, licorice, thyme and cooked meat all evidenced; the palate has firm quite chewy tannins, superb concentration, with a savoury denouement in the name of structural propriety. A happy ending then.

L’Espigouette have renovated their chai and added temperature controlled vats, which perhaps serve to give greater definition and purity to a family of wines which do not lack for power and Mediterranean warmth. Bernard Latour is one of the most respected vignerons in the Valley; tasting these wines, it is not difficult to understand why…

Vacqueyras, Domaine de L'Espigouette
A blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre, the 2010 Vacqueyras is surprisingly soft and round with sweet tannins and lower acidity than some of its 2010 peers. Notes of garrigue, black and blue fruits are found in this medium to full-bodied 2010. Drink it during its first 7-8 years of life.
(Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, October 2011)
