Presentation
The Rame family, from Vacqueyras, settled on the "La Curnière" lieu-dit and started planting vines. On these sunny slopes, north of the village of Vacqueyras, Grenache & Syrah grapes flourish on a great terroir, made of fine, light-brown clay sands of the "Font des Papes cone" (Miocene period - end of the Tertiary).
More than two centuries later, the Rame family perpetuates its know-how and runs the vineyards under sustainable practices to offer a fruity and authentic wine.

Reviews
"Based on Grenache and Syrah, the 2021 Vacqueyras has an attractive, medium-bodied, balanced style as well as ample raspberry and cherry fruits, some leather and peppery herb nuances, fine tannins, and notable purity. It shows more floral characteristics with time in the glass and is an impeccably made Vacqueyras that should evolve for 7-8 years, probably a decade if well stored." [+]
"Grenache, Syrah. Fermented in stainless steel and aged 8–10 months in oak barrels.
Tasted blind. Chewy fruit on the palate, the tannins are quite firm, moderate acidity. Relatively simple style, lacks a little concentration. " [+]
