Details
With origins tracing back to 1818, Maison Calvet stands as a testament to two centuries of winemaking prowess. Born in the Rhône Valley, Jean Marie Calvet guided the family's wine odyssey across France. Venturing into Vacqueyras, a French AOC nestled along the River Ouvèze in the southern Rhône, the region primarily produces red wines, with some noteworthy white and rosé varieties.
Considered a younger sibling to the esteemed Châteauneuf-du-Pape and arguably Gigondas, Vacqueyras carries a moderate prestige, capable of delivering gratifying results with careful treatment.
This wine, a harmonious blend of Grenache and Syrah, epitomizes the Rhône Valley's finest attributes. Grenache contributes a juicy, fruit-forward quality, while Syrah introduces depth, spice, and structural integrity.
Upon sipping, a symphony of vibrant and unabashedly forward flavours unfolds. Juicy, primary notes of blackberry and boysenberry burst forth, enveloping the palate in a lush and inviting fruitiness. These dark berry profiles harmonise seamlessly with hints of bramble and spice, creating a wine that delights with layers of complexity and intrigue.
