2015 Vacqueyras Rouge “Cuvée Azalais”
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
Why pick up a bottle of 2015 Azalais? Vigneron Serge Ferigoule’s answer could not be more concise: “There is no reason to hesitate before opening a 2015. It’s good—why ask questions?—just drink.” Coming from an amply mustachioed man with a southern melody in his voice, this is all you should need to hear. But for the curious, there’s concentrated red fruit, plenty of Provençal herbs, texture, balance, and all of the southern charm you could hope for.
