Château Lestours Clocher 2015
Châteauneuf is more famous and commands the highest prices, but savvy fans know neighboring Vacqueyras produces equally fabulous (and more wallet-friendly) reds. This “sexy and deeply perfumed” example from the historic Arnoux clan proves the point.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

Beyond the Label

When it comes to the most recognizable of France’s luxury wines, famed Châteauneuf-du-Pape gets all the fanfare (and commands the highest prices) in the Rhône Valley. But, savvy fans of these sumptuous wines know to look east, where tiny Vacqueyras produces equally fabulous, and more wallet-friendly, reds.

The Arnoux family are one of the original Vacqueyras families, and have been making wine in the village since 1717. Their ‘Les Penitents’ cuvée is a classic blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and really shows off the gloriously ripe 2015 vintage.

Wine Advocate critic Joe Czerwinski rates it 92 points and says that it “stood out in my blind tasting of the appellation” with “plenty of ripe raspberry and blackberry fruit” and a “long finish.” And Vinous expert Josh Raynolds gives it 91-93 points, calling it “sexy and deeply perfumed.”

One of our highest recommendations for Rhône fans (or anyone who loves the richest of reds). Get some on your table today.
