Vacqueyras - Les Molines
Les Galets Pourpres
GRAPE VARIETIES
Black Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
TERROIR AND VINES
The vines are on riss limestone terraces, sandy-clay soil, with banks of rolled pebbles on the Ouvèze terraces. The sunshine in these plots is significant.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Traditionally vinified in closed vats, for 18 to 25 days. The aging is partly in vats, and partly in barrels.
TASTING COMMENTS
On the nose, the fruit quickly stands out: black cherry, stone and blackberry, with hints of candied fruit. Round and fleshy, this is a well-structured wine with a fine finish and great harmony.
FOOD/WINE PAIRING
This wine goes well with a Flemish beer stew, grilled meats or rabbit.
CELLARING POTENTIAL
From 3 to 8 years old.
