Robert Parker

"The Vacqueyras Cuvée la Tour Aux Cailles 2012 is a blend of Grenache and Syrah aged in concrete vats. It has gamey, earthy aromas, with hints of olive and mint, and is very tannic. It will be interesting to see how it develops in the bottle. " (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker). All the richness of the beautiful sandy-loamy garrigue soils of the southern part of the appellation, a very fine Vacqueyras!

Review and opinion by Mr. GREGORY V. Published on 09/05/2016

A lovely wine with a very smooth attack, perhaps even a little too smooth, the mid-palate begins to pick up and it finishes strongly, revealing its full flavor! A wonderful and very pleasant discovery.
