Reviews
"A blend of Grenache and Syrah aged in foudre for 12 to 18 months, the 2023 Vacqueyras Hommage À Jérôme Quiot offers juicy berries, pepper, garrigue, leather, and some subtle, meaty, Provençal olive-like nuances. It's medium to full-bodied and has a pure, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and outstanding length. A quintessential, classic Vacqueyras with tons to love, it will drink well over the coming 10-12 years. Drink 2026-2037." [+]
