Intro to Vacqueyras Avarum, Chapoutier –

Vacqueyras Avarum made by Chapoutier

Full tasting note and wine making –

Vacqueyras Avarum made by Chapoutier is intense and generous and has notes of black fruit and then spicy touches. It is full and rich on the palate with a great freshness. Tannins are silky and elegant with a palate dominated by red fruits.  The vines for this wine are located on calcareous sandstone and gravelly clay terrace.

The de-stemmed grapes are fermented in concrete tanks. The alcoholic fermentation temperature is controlled at around 25°C to preserve as much varietal aromas as possible. Gentle pumping over operations are carried out on a daily basis to delicately extract aromatic substances, colouring matter and tannins. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the temperature is increased to allow the polymerization of the tannins during the maceration phase. Post fermentation maceration lasts about four weeks. Wine is mainly aged in concrete vats, with a less important part in 600 litre barrels. Bottling takes place 12 months later

The producer –

M.CHAPOUTIER range encompasses some of the best appellations in France. The soul of the brand is the Rhône Valley that offers wines from everyday Tradition, through classic ‘Grand Crus’ of Prestige, to select wines of

Southern France is represented by a set of discovery wines from Mathilde Chapoutier Sélection together with Domaine de Bila-Haut gems from Roussillon, Provence selection from Château des Ferrages and easy-drinking wines from Marius range.

The comprehensive portfolio is completed by a selection of wines from Alsace and German side of the Rhine valley.

With roots dating back to 1808, M. CHAPOUTIER is one of the oldest companies in the Rhône Valley. Yet, its world renown and the quality of wine can truly be accredited to the arrival of Michel Chapoutier in 1990. His willingness to change the set way, thirst for knowledge and open-mindedness, together with his drive to seek, discover and reflect the full potential of our terroirs, letting the soils express their true character, has put our wines firmly on the wine world map.

This philosophy is what gives our wines their signature style, forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos and drives our team to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
