Les Caveau du Prieuré Vinsobres 2021/22

Founded in 1967, U. V.C. D.R, or Union of Winemakers of Côtes du Rhône, is a collaboration of over 2000 vignerons who have been making wine for several generations. Today it’s the largest producer in the southern Rhône with over 12, 000 hectares covering all the crus and villages. And they not only make great wines – they ensure that care and attention goes back into the vineyards. With approximately 10% of their vineyards certified as organic, it’s one of the largest organic producers in France. Vinsobres was classified as Côtes du Rhône Villages before it was upgraded to cru status in 2006. It’s the most northerly of the Southern Rhône crus and its slightly higher latitude combined with the effects of the famous mistral wind ensures its wines have great freshness and acidity. And this wine is a case in point. It’s proof that you can find delicious wine that delivers flavour far beyond its price tag – if you know where to look. Expect concentrated notes of red and black fruits with hints of vanilla and spice. Enjoy its balance of savoury and fruity flavours with grilled lamb chops for an ideal pairing.
