Vacqueyras Mas du Bouquet 2010
About the wine
- You like Chateauneuf du Pape but can't afford to drink it every day? Welcome to Vacqueyras.
- Bruno is a top consultant in the area and he's made this wine with the same grape varieties, same wine-making style, same weird stone soil, just down the road and half the price of Chateauneuf.
- Date night with a cow, fat chips and this wine. Partner optional.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Bruno Lafon
- Bruno grew up making wines at the ultra expensive, ultra premium Domaine Comte Lafon Estate in Meursault so he knows what he's doing.
- He struck south to make a name for himself rather than live in the shadows of his prestigious family.
- After being tipped off by our friend Benjamin Darnault, Bruno came running to the siren call of 150,000 Angels. It's a good reminder that 150,000 Angels allows us to land bigger and bigger winemakers.
