90/100 Parker

Drink from 2020 to 2030

By Joe Czerwinski in 2017: "This organic estate has given birth to a solid Vacqueyras Cuvee Azalais 2015, built in the traditional way, a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and the rest Mourvèdre and Cinsault, made of concrete and aged in casks. It is medium-bodied, filled with notes of cola, blueberries and spices, and has firm, muscular tannins that suggest short ageing and moderate ageing".
