It comes from a single estate of that name, owned by the Archimbaud-Vache family at Vacqueyras in the Southern Rh ne Valley. These are two of the most consistent red wines in the Rh ne. The Close des Cazaux Vacqueyras has a magnificent, deep ruby color and offers some violets and plums on its aroma. It has excellent structure and its rich palate is resplendent with plums, cherries and spice.
Some tannins are still evident, but when drunk alongside meat courses they are barely detectable.
It has a long fruit-laden finish.
