Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Jean-Marie Arnoux is deep purple in color. The wine offers a powerful bouquet of red fruits adorned with delicate spicy notes. The mouthfeel is full and supple, structured by elegant, persistent, silky tannins.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    One of the most compelling wines in this very good portfolio is the 2009 Vacqueyras Jean-Marie Arnoux. From some of the estate's oldest vines, this blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre was aged in foudres and bottled without fining or filtration. Loaded with notes of sweet kirsch, licorice, camphor, incense and spring flowers, this dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied, multidimensional, powerful, long wine reveals superb equilibrium and intensity. It should age nicely for a decade.

Since 1717, the cultivation of the vine is perpetuated in our family. This tradition and this heritage has become a passion. Even today, we produce our wines in the greatest respect for ancestral traditions, to be able to offer and you return all the authentic flavors of our land. The homestead covers 40 hectares on the plateau Garrigues, a plateau to the west of the appellation, and extends to Chateauneuf du Pape. These soils are prone to low yields of highly concentrated grapes tannins and aromas.

With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the base of the classic Rhône Red Blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. Though they originated from France’s southern Rhône Valley, with some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in other countries. Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.

Vacqueyras Wine

Rhone, France

View all products

This charming appellation within the Côtes du Rhône Villages was second only to Gigondas to earn its own village appellation status. Its wines may be red, rosé or white—though hardly any is white. Its high winemaking standards follow many of the same rules as Chateauneuf-du-Pape. But for Vacqueyras red wines, half of the grapes have to be Grenache and the remainder is usually a combination of Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault.

While they can be robust and rustic in style, typically a great Vacqueyras red combines delicate aromas with intense fruit and a bright, crisp texture. They certainly don’t lack any character and show an abundance of black cherry, wild berry, plum, fig, baking spice, and a touch of game or smoke.
