2023 Alain Jaume Vacqueyras Blanc Grande Garrigue - 89 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"The 2023 Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue Blanc is based on 40% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette, 20% Viognier, and 20% Roussanne. It has an exotic nose of ripe lemon, baking spices, brioche, and hints of sappy flowers. This carries to a medium-bodied white with a supple, elegant mouthfeel, a good sense of freshness, and solid length on the finish. Vinified and aged in stainless steel, this should drink beautifully over the next 2-4 years."

2025 Alain Jaume Vacqueyras Blanc Grande Garrigue - 93 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"From an estate that knows how to make world-class whites, the 2025 Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue Blanc is 40% Grenache Blanc and 20% each of Clairette, Roussanne, and Viognier from sandy limestone soils. Ripe orchard fruits, brioche, toasted spice, and minty, garrigue-like nuances all shine on the nose. Vinified and raised entirely in stainless steel, it's medium-bodied and beautifully textured, with integrated, clean acidity, solid mid-palate depth, and a great finish. I'd be thrilled to drink a bottle over the coming 2-4 years or so. Drink 2026-2030."
