In the mouth, the wine has rich flavors of black fruits. It is meaty, well-structured, and the tannins are round and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe juice is aged in concrete tanks for 18 months. The lack of oak helps to frame in the bright and defined dark berry flavors of the old vine grapes. I can not recall another red wine that displays this depth yet displays on the palate with such refreshing acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tVieilles Vignes means old vines.For this specific wine, the age of the vines are comprised between 85 and 110 years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTraditional method.

Based on 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah that was all destemmed and aged in tank, it boasts a deep, layered, full-bodied profile as well as awesome notes of black fruits, black olives, melted licorice, and obvious minerality. It’s deep, richer, and blacker fruited than the base cuvee and is unquestionably one of the gems in the terrific appellation. It should drink nicely for over a decade.\"\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck (September 26th 2018), 94 pts\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colline St-Jean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948970864687,"sku":"F0EE280012GRL","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/collinestjeanlblvv_f102b417-9a57-44ae-bb38-893fad74ab7b.jpg?v=1771486374","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/colline-saint-jean-vacqueyras-vieilles-vignes-2016","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
