Domaine d'Ouréa Vacqueyras red 2022

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (August 2024): 91/100. Equally marked by this finesse, the Vacqueyras opens with macerated fruit, cherry pit, spices, and offers a mouthfeel that is graceful.

Revue du Vin de France (July 2024): "Tour de France: our finest wines under €20": 91-92/100. "While its color is light, its fruit is intense, like a juicy and fresh cherry with an almost sweet taste that is most impressive. A fine wine, with sap, flavorful and balanced."

Note: this is the best of the RVF article for the entire Vacqueyras appellation!

Terre de Vins (JM Brouard, March 2023): this wine is a blend of two very beautiful parcels, clayey for "Les Garrigues" and marl for "Les Pendants," where some vines are over a hundred years old. Predominantly marked by Grenache (85%), complemented by Cinsault, Carignan, and Mourvèdre, the wine displays an eminently seductive character. Aged in concrete tanks, it reveals a pale robe as distinguished as the nose, combining sparkling red fruits and notes of old rose. Delicate, the palate is both juicy and fresh, lively and energetic. Some spices punctuate the tasting, which stretches into a salivating finish. What elegance!
