Domaine de la Tourade “Cuvée de l’Euse”
Vacqueyras

2005

A fine example from the most famous of the Côte du Rhône Villages and a wine made in a totally traditional way by the Richard family. Tiny production—we have taken as much as they will give us.

Our tasting notes

A deep, slightly burnt dark red colour with a peppery fruit-filled nose. Excellent berry fruit earthy flavours with a hard gripping finish, hints of velvet and chocolate. A delicious and interesting wine.
