"Coming from 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre and aged 12 months in concrete tanks, the 2024 Vacqueyras Fontimple shows red and black cherries, pepper, sandalwood, and Provençal herb nuances. It's medium-bodied, pure, balanced, and has fine tannins. It's a beautiful wine and should easily be outstanding. Hats off to this terrific co-op for producing beautiful, impeccably made wines."

"Issu de 60 % de Grenache, 30 % de Syrah et 10 % de Mourvèdre, et élevé pendant 12 mois en cuves béton, le Vacqueyras Fontimple 2024 dévoile des notes de cerises rouges et noires, de poivre, de bois de santal et d’herbes provençales. À la fois souple et équilibré, il est pur, équilibré et doté de tanins fins. C’est un très beau vin qui devrait sans difficulté se révéler remarquable. Chapeau à cette formidable coopérative pour la production de vins magnifiques, élaborés avec une précision irréprochable."

The vintage
2024 has been full of weather challenges. Spring brought disease pressure, summer droughts reduced yields, and heavy rains in September added to the difficulties. Even so, the great quality of the wines reflects the skill, dedication, and great adaptability of our Artisans winegrowers and winemakers.
Terroir
Complementary soils of round pebbles, clay and limestone.
Winemaking
he grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, either by hand or mechanically depending on the parcel. Fermentation and maceration last 16 to 20 days at controlled temperatures. Regular pump-overs and a few rack-and-return operations gently extract colour, aromas and structure.
Grape variety
- Grenache noir – 60%
- Syrah – 30%
- Mourvèdre – 10%
