White Vacqueyras

2012 Vacqueyras Clairette, Garnacha Blanca

Domaine La Garrigue White Vacqueyras is a delightful expression of the southern Rhône, showcasing the harmonious blend of Clairette and Garnacha Blanca varieties. This vintage exudes a radiant golden hue, inviting the taster with its enticing aromas of ripe stone fruit, floral notes, and subtle hints of fresh herbs. On the palate, it reveals a rich and full-bodied character, perfectly balanced by a bright and refreshing acidity that invigorates the senses. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering lush flavors of apricot and pear, complemented by a mineral undertone that speaks to the unique terroir of Vacqueyras. This delightful white is dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with seafood dishes or light appetizers. With its superb craftsmanship, Domaine La Garrigue White Vacqueyras beautifully captures the essence of its region and varietals.

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.
