2015 Domaine la Garrigue Vacqueyras "La Cantarelle"

La Cantarelle is a cuvée created by Philippe Cambie (4th Generation winemaker) and based on a plot of century old Grenache vines, that displays immense complexity and resolve once bottled. The concentration that only old-vines can bring, empowers La Cantarelle, constructing a dense wine with plenty of structure submerged behind black-fruit flavors. Once the wine has opened up it becomes evident that the 2015 Domaine la Garrigue La Cantarelle is refined, powerful, and irresistible. 

Domaine la Garrigue was founded in 1850 by the same family that runs the property today, Famille Bernard. Siblings Maxime, Pierre and Martine Bernard, of the 5th generation are at the helm of the estate, covering 200 acres. They farm vines of Grenache, Mourvedre, Cinsault, Syrah, Grenache Blanc and Clairette with vines averaging 50 years old and some well over a century. The talented Virginie Combe, a member of the 6th generation, leads the charge for winemaking with guidance from Philippe Cambie. Together the family produces first-class wines from the S. Rhone!
