    The Vacqueras region does not share the glamour of the neighbouring and prominent Chateauneuf du Pape but has the same characteristic soils, full of stones reminiscent of smooth pebbles, that define the usually 'warm' style of the region's wines. Generous and delicious, the Cuvee Azalais harmoniously combines both ripe and freshly picked fruit. But what characterizes the wine of Serge Ferigoule, who is leading the rebirth of Vacqueras, is its sense of balance and restraint. Nothing stands out, the wine is beautifully complex and straddles the line between power and elegance. Clearly Mediterranean with an exuberant character but also a carefully hidden beneficial freshness that is reminiscent of a summer sleep in the mountains with the window open.

    More info

    The first of Serge Ferigoule's two red cuvees has the peculiarity that its name changes from year to year. Each year the wine bears the name of one of the producer's three daughters. It is a blend of mainly Grenache with secondary blends of Syrah, Carignan, Mourvedre and Cinsault, all classic grapes of the region. Farming is organic and biodynamically certified, and at the winery fermentation is spontaneous, in concrete tanks, and the wine is aged in old oak foudres for 12 months. The embodiment of the stony terroir brings to mind red fresh and ripe fruit combined with smoky aromas of Mediterranean herbs and spicy spices. The tannins on the palate feel as if they have been passed through a fine sieve, with excellent texture and ripeness while the heat of the alcohol is tempered by excellent freshness. Soft, balanced with a persistent finish. A wine that justifies Grenache's title as the Pinot Noir of the Mediterranean.
