Vacqueyras "Le Village" Domaine Montirius • 2021 • Rhône Valley

Le Village de Montirius 2021 is a delightful Vacqueyras red crafted from a selection of the estate's youngest Grenache and Syrah vines, aged between 10 and 35 years. This cuvée, named for its vines that overlook the beautiful Provencal village of Vacqueyras, offers luscious aromas of strawberry and smoky notes. On the nose, it shows ripe red fruits like raspberry and blackberry with a hint of smoky garrigue, delivering an approachable aromatic profile. The palate is medium-bodied and easy to drink, featuring fresh, intense red fruit, softly-rounded tannins, and a lively, clean finish. Its bright fruit and smooth structure make it ideal for grilled red meats and hearty cheeses, and its balanced texture ensures a delightful pairing without overpowering the food.
