A stunningly classic Southern Rhone favorite for all the GSM lovers in your life.
From: Southern Rhône, France
Varietal: Grenache 60%, Mourvèdre 20%, Syrah 20%
Taste: The bouquet of ripe fruit, blackcurrant coulis, strawberry jam, spice, and violets shows that this is a great Vacqueyras. Smooth and rich on the palate with soft tannins that marries well with the licorice flavors. A very long aftertaste confirms this wine’s character and elegance. Pro tip: Please chill this down a smidge! Serve at around 55-60 degrees in temperature, especially when it’s warm out. Trust us, you won’t regret it.
Pairing: This Vacqueyras makes a perfect accompaniment to veal chops with rosemary, mushroom risotto, or even chocolate mousse. Do it up with all the savory tomato dishes you can come up with; especially dishes that incorporate fresh herbs or herbs like thyme, rosemary, and basil. Ratatouille with a side of grilled sausage from the butcher is a house favorite year-round.
