Vacqueyras

Vacqueyras is a respected wine appellation in the southern Rhône Valley of France, known for its excellent red wines. Located at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, this region benefits from a favorable Mediterranean climate and diverse soil types, including limestone, clay and pebbles. Vacqueyras red wines, mainly composed of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, are known for their deep color, complex aromas and powerful flavors.

The tannins are firm, giving the wines a solid structure and potential for aging. These wines are often balanced and elegant, making them a prized choice among Rhône wine enthusiasts.

As one of the Cru des Côtes du Rhône, a classification designating high-quality wines within the Rhône region, Vacqueyras has established its position as a reliable source of characterful and expressive red wines.
