Cuvée Spéciale

2019 Vacqueyras Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvedre

This red wine presents a medium-bodied profile, enriched with a nice balance of acidity that brings a refreshing quality to every sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark berries and ripe plums, complemented by subtle hints of herbs and spice that speak to the area's unique terroir. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the fruit. Notably dry, this wine is a superb choice for a variety of culinary pairings, making it an excellent addition to any gathering or special occasion.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
