"Based on 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 10% Carignan and aged 12 months in 30% oak barrels, the 2023 Vacqueyras La Ponche offers ripe red and black fruits, leafy herbs, pepper, and some Provençal, meaty, smoky nuances. It's ripe, medium to full-bodied, round, supple, and beautifully textured. It's another smoking good wine from this cooperative that has tons to love. Drink 2026-2037."

"A delicate ageing process that highlights the freshness of the aromas and the silkiness of the tannins, supporting a relaxed, smooth and incredibly indulgent palate. A modern style that’s devilishly delicious"

The vintage
2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.
Winemaking
Traditional vinification with long vating (25 days) and fermentation under controlled temperatures (28/30°C) with pumping over twice a day to develop the aromas. 30% of the wine is aged in oak barrels (1 & 2 wines) for 12 months.
Grape variety
- Grenache – 65%
- Syrah – 25%
- Carignan – 10%
