White Vacqueyras is a real rarity, with just 1% of the wines produced here are white. It is also very good, powerful, clear, rich in extract, opulent, but also structured, and enormously long and complex. Once again a testimony to the great winegrowing art of the Perrin family, here everything is in the right place. In addition, this wine has also a nice price, since it is qualitatively on the level of best Châteauneuf-du-Pape but it is priced well below.
It grows in high altitudes, which brings a certain coolness in the warn Rhône valley and thereby gives the wine its liveliness. This wine is also very long-lasting and will refine over a few years in the bottle. Our favourite!
