Description
A blend of Grenache and Syrah, it comes from two parcels of Grenache planted by his grandfather in 1932, as well as a smaller plot of Syrah planted in 1960. These old vines have very low yields, giving the wine its exceptional concentration.
Blend: 75% Grenache, 25% Syrah
It is an excellent match for grilled ribs, sausages, and steaks as well as roasts and stews of lamb, beef and game.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2016 Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes suggests hung game at first, then unfolds into layers of raspberries and cherries, bound together by hints of leather, cocoa and dried spices. A blend of 75% Grenache (planted in 1932) and 25% Syrah (planted in 1960), this medium to full-bodied wine is a super example of Vacqueyras made in a traditional style, with no new oak. The fine, silky tannins are all derived from the grapes, lingering elegantly on the mouthwatering finish.
