It is located at the bottom of the steep limestone foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail. The dry, hot, lengthy growing season allows the grapes to achieve full maturity. This factor, along with the Southwest facing slopes, creates an optimal and much sought after region for producers. Vacqueyras become an independent AOC in 1990 due to the region’s ability to make intense and focused red wine. Previously, Vacqueyras main function was as a Cotes du Rhone Village. While compared to Gigondas in terms of appellation laws, the significant factor that differentiates the regions is the proportion of Grenache required. Gigondas remains at 80 percent Grenache, while Vacqueyras wines consist of 50 percent. Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, and other Cotes du Rhone grapes make up the remainder of the blend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cazaux-vacqueyras-cuvee-des-templiers-2022","title":"Cazaux Vacqueyras Cuvee des Templiers 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eCazaux Vacqueyras Cuvee des Templiers is a blend of 50% Syrah, 50% Grenache. The Syrah vines are situated on the sandy, grey clay slopes of Vacqueyras near the estate. They are facing east west, so the sun warms the grapes early in the morning allowing a considerable synthesis of sugars. The sandy soil is poor giving a reduced yield. The resulting wine is very fruity with persistent aromas of red fruits, spices and violets brought by the Syrah. Intense black cherry, blackberry, blueberry and cherry flavors. Explosive fruit tannins give the sweet, creamy flavors structure and focus, bright and uplifting on the finish. Enjoy this wine when young with grilled beef and bearnaise sauce, lamb and thyme. After 7-10 years excellent with game meats. Review: Very dark in the glass. A spicy nose full of cardamom and cumin. Full-bodied but not overly. Feels rounded and powerful, but has seen no oak. Quite extracted, this certainly needs time but promises some future complexity. - Matt WALLS (October 1st 2022), 91\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos des Cazaux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949276852271,"sku":"451975","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/clos_cazaux_vacqueyras_templiers_hq_label_53e5f967-0201-40ed-be16-1273bb4fd4f1.jpg?v=1771492643"}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/collections\/regions-vacqueyras.oembed","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
