2019 Domaine Fontaine du Clos Vacqueyras: A Rhône Valley Masterpiece

Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the esteemed Vacqueyras appellation in France’s Rhône Valley, this 2019 red blend from Domaine Fontaine du Clos embodies the region’s signature elegance and power. Crafted with meticulous care, it combines 55% Grenache, 40% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre—a classic Rhône trio celebrated for its depth and complexity. Awarded 92 points by Jeb Dunnuck, this wine is a testament to the producer’s mastery of blending and aging.

Flavor Profile & Structure:
Expect a sensory journey with every sip. The nose bursts with Provençal aromas of ripe red plums, jammy cherries, and earthy garrigue, layered with hints of incense. On the palate, it’s concentrated and full-bodied, yet remarkably balanced, with velvety tannins that promise graceful aging. Winemaker notes highlight its “shiny carmine-red hue” and “smooth, complex finish,” making it ideal for those seeking a wine that evolves beautifully over time.

Why Choose This Wine?
Unlike lighter blends, this Vacqueyras offers bold intensity without overwhelming heaviness, thanks to its harmonious acidity and structured tannins. Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats or aged cheeses, it also shines as a standalone sipper for contemplative evenings. With 15% ABV, it balances richness with drinkability—a rare feat in high-alcohol wines.
