2020 Alain Jaume Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue - 91 PTS - JS

james suckling hq logo plain"Plenty of smoke and a touch of black pepper, as well as the big blackberry fruit of the Southern Rhone! Full body and the alcohol to go with it, but everything fits nicely together and the wine has a very harmonious, long finish, thanks to the rather fine tannins. Drink or hold."

2022 Alain Jaume Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue - 91 PTS - JS

james suckling hq logo plain"A well-built, spicy and textured Vacqueyras red with dark berries, currants, dried herbs and baking spices on the nose, following through to a full body with fine, firm tannins. Spicy and intense mid-palate with a compact finish. From organically grown grapes. Try after 2026."

"The nose of this wine blossoms with juicy dark cherries, fresh blackberries, blueberries, and a hint of white peppercorns. On the palate, layers of baking spice and abundant stony minerality emerge, all balanced by a vibrant wave of acidity. This wine offers both depth and drinkability, making it easy to enjoy now. — Anna-Christina Cabrales"

2022 Alain Jaume Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue - 93 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"Always a winner, the 2022 Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue is incredibly Provençal and complex, with beautiful red fruits, Provençal herbs, and spice notes in its medium to full-bodied, ripe, round, sexy profile. A blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, and 5% Mourvèdre, it was vinified in temperature-controlled tanks followed by aging in a mix of tanks and oak barrels (1-4 years old). Drink this incredibly satisfying Vacqueyras over the coming 8-10 years."
