M. Chapoutier Avarum Vacqueyras

The story began with Michel Chapoutier, a unique man with a thirst for knowledge, definitely one of a kind. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character.
This now forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.

Mostly aged in concrete vats, Avarum in the Vacqueyras appellation, is a blend of Grenache and Syrah. We find an intense and generous nose, with notes of black fruits and spices. The mouth, full of freshness, is rich and ample, with silky and elegant tannins, for a long smoky finish. A delight!
