Product Description

Overview

Winery: Colline St-Jean

Colline Saint Jean Vacqueyras Rouge 2011 is made from 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre.
Harvested by hand.
Traditional vinification.
Skin-contact maceration for 20 days in cement vats.
Ageing: 70% in cement vats and 30% in oak barrels.

Dense ruby/purple color as well as an impressive bouquet of red and black fruits (cherry, raspberry, black currant), licorice, garrigue and pepper.
The wine is dense, full-bodied, opulent and impressively endowed with sweet, well-integrated tannins.
Pairs well with red meat, white meat, game dishes in macerate sauce and cheese.

"A beautiful effort that offers up loads of Provencal charm, the 2011 Vacqueyras (70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre aged mostly in concrete tank) is medium-bodied, nicely textured and has fine, sweet tannin emerging on the finish. Dishing out pretty plum, currant, licorice and herb de Provence-styled aromas and flavors, this impressive 2011 will drink nicely for 7-8 years. Drink now-2019. - JD"
