Blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, and 10% Mourvédre. The medium-high intensity nose has a savoury core surrounded by complex aromas of black pepper, dark berry, spice, and plum notes. The full-ish bodied palate has lovely flavours of red cherry, raspberry, spice with savoury undertones and a hint of orange. It has well-balanced acidity and refined, well-knit tannins with a touch of chalky grip. Really well-balanced throughout with more savoury and stony flavours with spice and a tinge of orange on the long finish. Tasted Apr/2021.

Fine Vacqueyras from Maison Lavau who seem to produce well=made, authentic CdR from several ACs. Frédéric et Benoît are rockin' these days, metaphorically speaking (I have no idea if they play rock n roll). Tasted Nov 2022.
