Paul Jaboulet Aîné Vacqueyras Les Cyprès 2017 beautifully captures the unique qualities of its terroir, blending traditional winemaking techniques with a modern touch to deliver a complex yet approachable experience.
Vacqueyras is a picturesque appellation in the southern Rhône Valley, famous for its sunny vineyards and diverse soil types. The 2017 vintage thrived due to a warm growing season, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness. The vines grow in a mix of clay and limestone soils, which contribute to the wine’s minerality and structure. The Mediterranean climate of the region adds a distinctive character, showcasing ripe fruit flavours and a hint of spice.
Les Cyprès is primarily a blend of Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre rounding out the mix. Grenache provides a luscious backbone with its vibrant red fruit flavours and smooth texture. Syrah adds depth with darker fruit notes, while Mourvèdre brings a subtle earthiness and herbal complexity, resulting in a well-rounded and layered wine.
In the glass, the Vacqueyras Les Cyprès 2017 displays a deep ruby colour with violet hues, hinting at its richness.
The nose is inviting and expressive, offering a delightful mix of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums, complemented by hints of lavender and thyme.
As the wine breathes, notes of black pepper, liquorice, and a touch of garrigue emerge, reflecting the fragrant underbrush typical of the Mediterranean landscape.
On the palate, the wine is velvety and full-bodied, delivering a sumptuous blend of dark fruits and spicy undertones.
The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing structure without overshadowing the fruit.
Lively acidity ensures a nice balance, leading to a refreshing finish. The lingering aftertaste of red berries, subtle spice, and a touch of minerality leaves a lasting impression.

It also pairs beautifully with hearty vegetable meals, rustic stews, and mature cheeses. Whether for a celebratory dinner or a casual get-together, this wine elevates any dining occasion.
Paul Jaboulet Vacqueyras Les Cyprès 2017 is a stunning representation of the southern Rhône, reflecting both the quality of the vintage and the craftsmanship of the winery.
