Domaine de la Jaufrette
Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend
Vacqueyras, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
2010s from Jaufrette are so meaty and structured. This is dark, has sinew and grip, rustic and soulful. Dried strawberries and black cherries, stewed plums, tar, espresso, leather, cigar ash, roasted herbs, hung meat, shiitake, hoisin.

Nov 30th, 2019Soulful, warm, brimming with Southern character and charm. Can taste the warmth of the vintage, a more richly textured Vacqueyras. Smoke, charred meat, worn leather, cigar wrapper, dried thyme, baked plums, dried cherries. Lovely structure

Red and black cherries with leather, spice and dried herbs. The nose was lovely, but the wine seemed a little simple on the palate. Tart red cherry and tannic grip.
