Vacqueyras AOP 2023, Francois Xavier Lambert

The clay and clay limestone soils of the region benefit from a layer of pebbles. The grapes are hand picked at optimum ripeness and sorted manually before making their way to the cellars. Each grape variety is vinified separately to protect their individual qualities. Long, soft maceration in concrete tanks, cap immersed. A proporiton of the Syrah and Mourvedre spend a year in oack barrels before blending the cuvee. Very lightly filtered.
