Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault are in harmony here to represent, a few yards away from Gigondas, a classic from the Rhône. The organic vines give subtle fruits while the gentle ageing in oak brings a touch of complexity. It’s a superb alternative to the superstars of Châteauneuf-du-Pape for a lot less money!

It is the 2021 Vacqueyras from the Bernard family’s Domaine La Ligiere. They have a long history of farming some of the Southern Rhône’s greatest terroirs, having worked the soils around Gigondas and Vacqueyras since the 1800s. The Bernards continue to produce characterful, terroir-driven wines from their exceptional vineyards and this 2021 Vacqueyras is a classic.

On the nose, it is rich and complex with aromas of red fruit, blackberry, coffee, and liquorice. On the palate, supple and round yet fresh and well-balanced. The finish is long, with notes of cherry and fine tannins. The perfect accompaniment to grilled prime rib, roast lamb with herbs de Provence, or a vegetable tian.

Produced from 50-year-old vines planted in clay and gravelly soils, organically farmed and with minimal intervention, this is a wine distinguished by its roundness and suppleness. Powerful, with well-balanced notes of red fruit, this finely tannic wine is drinking beautifully now and our Club Tasting Panel highly recommend it to Members at this amazingly good Club price!

Case of 12 bottles. RRP £300. CCUK £219 including UK mainland delivery (courier surcharge for Highlands and Islands).
