Domaine de la Brunely - Vacqueyras Tour aux Cailles 2012
87-88+/100
Robert Parker
“The 2012 Vacqueyras Cuvée la Tour Aux Cailles is a blend of Grenache and Syrah aged in concrete tanks. It features gamey, earthy aromas with notes of olive and mint, and it has plenty of tannins. It will be interesting to see how it evolves in the bottle. ” (Wine Advocate – Robert Parker). It captures all the richness of the beautiful sandy-loam garrigue soils in the southern part of the appellation— a truly lovely Vacqueyras!

Review by Mr. GREGORY V. Published on September 5, 2016
A lovely wine with a very smooth attack—perhaps even a little too smooth—that begins to pick up in the mid-palate and finishes with a strong finish, revealing its full flavor! A wonderful and very enjoyable discovery.
