Even this young-vine cuvée looks potentially excellent in 2016. The 2016 Vacqueyras Le Village isn't hugely concentrated but offers charming notes of garrigue and raspberries, medium to full body, a long finish and silky tannins that should make this wine drinkable on release.

A young-vines cuvée, the 2015 Vacqueyras Le Village is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Like the other Vacqueyras offerings from Montirius, it shows wonderfully pure notes of garrigue and raspberries and is raised entirely in concrete. The tannins are noticeable, but they're ripe and silky. Drink this medium-bodied wine on the young side, within 5 years or so.
