Round plum, candied raspberry, and currant comprise the fruit character with notes of chocolate, tobacco, and lavender gently emanating from within. The wines of the Vingnerons de Caracter have grown much more exciting over a remarkably short half-decade or so (though they've been around since 1957). They're definitely producing their Vacqueyras in a contemporary fruit-forward style utilizing an average of 30% carbonic maceration in their various cuvees.
