Vacqueyras is harmony. This soft red wine from the foot of Mont Ventoux, like its neighbors, consists of the Mediterranean grape varieties Grenache Noir, Mourvedre and Syrah. The Domaine Fontaine du Clos of the Bernier family produces a silky-soft Vacqueyras with the typical spiciness of southern Rhône wines, the wine is warming, opulent and noticeably smooth, the extract is almost oily, the tannins are very round and well integrated.
The very good 2022 vintage has aromas reminiscent of black cherry, pome fruit and blackberry. It can be enjoyed young, but good Vacqueyras, like the Reflets de l'ame from Domaine Fontaine du Clos, also benefits from bottle storage.
