Domaine des Amouriers Vacqueyras Les Genestes 2018

Vacqueyras, Rhone, France Domaine des Amouriers Vacqueyras Les Genestes is a beautiful red blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah from Vacqueyras in the southern Rhone. After the death of Jocelyn Chudzikewicz in 1997, the team at the estate, Patrick and Pascale Gras, kept the legacy alive until the return of Igor Chudzikewicz, one of Jocelyn's sons. Together, they continue to perpetuate their tradition of respect for a natural approach towards the vines and the wine itself. The entire vineyard has been certified organic AB since 2014. The estate covers 30 hectares, partly in the Vaucluse IGP, the rest in AOP Vacqueyras. The age of the vines (average age 50 years) with very low average yields and their perfect adaptation to the diversity of soils are the key elements that give the wines such elegant, rich, complex and balanced flavors. The grapes for Amouriers Vacqueyras Genestes are strictly selected among the oldest parcels of land, with a low yield, hand-picked. It offers aromas and flavors of red and black fruits, garrigue, spices, and violets. The wine was aged from 15 to 18 months in concrete vats.
