Domaine Chamfort, Sablet ‘La Pause’ 2020
Archetypal Sablet with its accent on finesse, rather than power. Ripe and fragrant, with abundant red and black fruits on the palate, and Syrah’s peppery spice to finish.
£21.99
Sablet lies at a crossroads between the villages of Seguret and Gigondas and, as it suggests, lies on sandy, well-drained soils. This gives the wines a fine structure but also an attractive fragrance and finesse. 2020 was a lovely vintage across the Rhône region and Vasco’s Sablet – a blend of 70% Syrah, 30% Grenache – shows vibrant red fruits, soft black fruits and a gorgeous peppery spice. Where Séguret is renowned for its power, this Sablet is of its type; delicate, ripe, fresh and elegant.
