Chateau Vaugelas Corbières Cuvée Prestige 2000

Chateau Vaugelas Corbières Cuvée Prestige 2000: A vibrant, richly coloured wine in the glass. Youthful, with a dense core. Lovely, fruit-driven nose, which suggests a blend of the typical southern French varieties; cherry fruit, herbs and garrigue aromas. On the palate it displays a pencil-lead fruit and a lean to medium body, but with juicy acidity and a pleasing freshness. An approachable wine very typical of the south, and lovely with food. 16/20 (12/7/04)
