A blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah aged 12 months in barrel, the 2007 Vacqueyras Cuvee Le Pilon has a dense purple color and a big, ripe nose of blackberries, meat juices, lavender, pepper, and some truffle. Cutting a broad swath across the palate, this deep, sensationally layered wine displays full-bodied richness in addition to superb purity. It is a great example of Vacqueyras that can be drunk now or cellared for 5-6 years. This wine sells for 10 euros at the estate, which can be reached at lemasdesflauzieres@yahoo.fr.No known American importer.
