Domaine d'Ouréa Vacqueyras red 2023

La Revue du Vin de France (Nov. 2025, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and its challengers): 93-94/100 : With its elegant aromatic palette featuring a note of blood orange and violet, this fine and lively Vacqueyras is all about texture, focusing more on finesse than power and breadth, yet with great fruit intensity.

Guide RVF des Meilleurs Vins de France 2026 (Sept 2025): 91/100.The Vacqueyras smells of fruit coulis. Its measured thickness envelops ripe tannins.

Terre de Vins (JM Brouard, March 2023): this cuvée is a blend of two very beautiful parcels, clay 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!
