Predominantly old vine Grenache and Syrah with a splash of younger planted Mourvedre, the 3 classic grapes of the Southern Rhone valley. A seductive, full bodied, ripe and spicy red wine. The story begins in 1990 when Eric Ughetto took over the family vineyards located in Gigondas. He was joined by Sophie in the late 90s and the two of them decided to make wine with their own grapes.

This is an exceptional value example of a southern Rhône blend and is composed of 53% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 9% Cinsault and 3% other red varieties. It is a rich, full-bodied and fragrant wine, offering up lively berry fruits on the nose, with a touch of licorice and a hint of black pepper. It is full-bodied and silky with ripe tannins that gently support the cherry, cassis, and herb character. Built in 1767 and located in the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Appellation, Château de Vaudieu is the flagship estate of the Brechet family. Closerie de Vaudieu is a premium red wine produced in the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, and the vines are over 65 years in age and the fruit gains incredible levels of concentration as a result.
