Ogier Vacqueyras Boiseraie
Vacqueyras, Rhône
The terroir includes clay and limestone slopes and alluvial deposits on terraces. The vineyard extends over the two communes of Vacqueyras and Sarrians in the department of Vaucluse, at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, from Vienna to Avignon. Crossed by the Rhone, its appellations are caressed by both the wind and the sun.
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby color, the wine has a beautiful personality. Full-bodied and wonderfully balanced between spices and freshness of the fruits. Tannins are very present but fine. This is a wine of seduction.
Food Pairings
Grilled meat, casseroles, autumn dishes.

Vintage Notes
Strong red color with purple highlights. Light aromas of thyme and rosemary (garrigue in the springtime) mixed with blackcurrant and crushed raspberry, with notes of violet. Ample, bold, a beautiful personality; fabulous balance between the spices and the freshness of the fruit; evident but smooth tannins.
