Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes Tardieu-Laurent 2013
Located only a few kilometers south of Gigondas, Vacqueyras shares much of the same terroir .The best vineyards are found on Plateau de Garrigues . In the lowland, warmer temperatures result in more powerful and often inelegant wines . The red wine are made from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre,Cinsault, Muscardin and Counoise variety grape . This area knocks the spots off many a more expensive neighbouring Chateauneuf du Pape. Established in 1994, the Tardieu-Laurentwines turned heads from the outset. Michel Tardieu, now working independently, is completely free to pursue his philosophy without any impediment. .Tardieu Laurent Vacqueyras is made from a Vieilles Vignes and the wine aged 20 months in a combination of foudre and barrel.
