Superb dessert wine from Vacqueyras producer

Les Grains des Novembre dessert wine from Vacqueyras producer Clos des Cazaux

Vacqueyras producer Clos des Cazaux make great Cru level reds and white wine - I’ve been a fan for a long time - but this wine is new to me: their “Les Grains de Novembre”; made in tiny quantities , each year just a single barrel of 600 bottles produced , its surely a unique wine in the region being made from late picked grapes affected by noble rot ( botrytis) - so a Sauternes style wine made from 100% white Grenache. It’s simply delicious - more than twice the price of my favourite Beaumes de Venise dessert wine ( and for just 50cl) but for the occasional after dinner treat well worth the money.
