Terroir & Grape Composition

This Vacqueyras 2021 red wine comes from clay-limestone soils topped with alluvial scrublands, lending minerality and structure to the wine.

Grape Varieties:

• 65% Grenache

• 25% Syrah

• 10% Mourvèdre

Furthermore, the grapes are selected from mature plots, ensuring they showcase the full character of the southern Rhône Valley.

Crafting Vacqueyras – From Vineyard to Bottle

To maintain exceptional quality, harvesters pick the grapes by hand and sort them based on maturity. Then, a 3 to 4-week maceration process intensifies the aroma and color. Afterward, pneumatic pressing gently extracts the tannins.

Fermentation and aging occur in concrete vats, which allow smooth oxygen exchange. This method promotes subtle flavor development while preserving freshness.

Aging:

• 9 months in concrete tanks

• Softens tannins and preserves the wine’s fruit-forward character

As a result, Vacqueyras La Chasse des Princes 2021 maintains a refined balance between power and elegance.
