Xavier Vignon 2019 Vacqueyras (75cl)

Vacqueyras sits in the Southern Rhône next to the better known Châteauneuf villages, and the reds here are usually a blend led by Grenache with Syrah and Mourvèdre. Warm, generous and herby, it is good with lamb, sausages, braised dishes or a cheese plate after dinner, and works as a reliable table wine for a bigger group. Southern Rhône blends typically show dark berry and plum with black pepper, dried herbs and a touch of leather, with soft tannins and a warm finish.
