Vacqueyras Passion Rouge 2020 Domaine Les Ondines

Vacqueyras - Passion Rouge

樹齢80年が語る、南ローヌの真髄。

丸石と砂利に覆われた粘土石灰質の畑で、樹齢80年の古樹から。グルナッシュを主体にシラーとサンソーを重ね、自生酵母で発酵させたのち、木製円錐型タンクと樫樽で6ヶ月、コンクリートタンクでさらに6ヶ月熟成させました。紫がかった深い赤に、ユーカリやミントの清涼感、ドライストロベリーや森の下草、リコリスが重なります。ビロードのような口当たり。8〜10年の熟成にも応えます。

Tasting note

Deep red with a purplish luster. The aroma is very fresh, with notes of eucalyptus and mint. These aromas are echoed on the palate, intertwined with notes of dried strawberry, forest undergrowth, and licorice. The mouthfeel is velvety smooth, complex, and flavorful. A hint of chocolate lingers on the finish.
