Awarded Trophy: International Wine Challenge 2017
Awarded Gold Medal: International Wine Challenge 2017
"A youthful, juicy Vacqueyras - young, vibrant and packed with bilberries and cracked black pepper. A mouthful of vinous joy, accessible now but built to last" International Wine Challenge 2017
Located in Châteauneuf du Pape since 1898, Caves Saint-Pierre is a winery whose reputation has been built on its knowledge of the vineyards along with expertise in the blending and ageing of wines for over one hundred years. This appellation is just next door to Châteauneuf du Pape, with similar stony vineyards, produces sumptuous, rich, velvety reds made with Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, a classic GSM blend, but without the big price tag you pay over the road in Châteauneuf du Pape.
Vacqueyras was upgraded from Côtes du Rhône Villages status to its own fully-fledged appellation in 1990 and has never looked back! Now many of the wines are of Châteauneuf du Pape quality without the price tag. The Caves Saint-Pierre is a classic example of a wine that completely overdelivers on the price quality front from a winery with over 100 years of experience.

Il Rabdomante is about body, structure and ageability, using the best, ripest parcels of fruit from this incredible vineyard and crafting a wine of power without sacrificing balance or structure. A tour-de-force. Ruby red, intense and persistent fragrance; the bouquet is intense, fruity, persistent, with notes of dried flowers, spice, liquorice, macerated cherries. The palate is stylish, velvety, almost creamy, with a tannic structure that blends nicely with the alcoholic component. Great structure, complex, elegant, well balanced with a long aftertaste. Opulent fruit.
