2017 Vacqueyras, Cuvée des Templiers, Domaine le Clos des Cazaux

Vineyard planted in 1952, making this Syrah-based wine older than the appellation itself. There’s wonderful tension and purity here, with deep notes of dark cherry and tapenade, and a touch of wild herbs. Long and saline.

2017 Vacqueyras, Cuvée des Templiers, Domaine le Clos des Cazaux
Domaine Le Clos des Cazaux

This domaine, facing the rocky slopes of Les Dentelles de Montmirail, is run by charismatic brothers Jean-Michel and Frédéric Vache. With 22 hectares in Vacqueyras and another 16 hectares in Gigondas, with wildly varied soils and subsoils, this is a considerable estate which consistently produces complex fine wines. Organically farmed and benefitting from the warm, drying effect of the Mistral wind, old vines yield pure fruit, creating some of the most luscious, well-priced wines in the region.
