Vacqueyras – Reflets de l’âme

History

This interesting producer with very expressive wines is situated right between the Rhône valley and Provence. The vineyards are protected by the mountain Mont Ventoux and the mistral wind is blowing away humidity that might otherwise cause the vines to rot. The conditions are excellent to grow vines with a minimum of pesticides.

Flos du Fontaine is one of the largest producers of vines in France and they are doing research to explore new breeds. The focus is to obtain vines with low yield in order to get concentrated grapes that make rich wines and also to make them more resistant to deseases. They are currently producing wines from 32 different grape varieties.

Winemaking and terroir 

The Grenache is resting in concrete tanks for 12 minths before being added to Syrah that has been aged in 600 litres oak barrels for 12 months.

Flavour profile

Intense aromas of red and dark berries as well as herbal tones, liquorice and violet. This is an elegant wine with well balanced tannins.
