Vacqueyras is often considered the top-value
alternative to Châteauneuf. But head to Montirius,
one of the stars of the appellation, and the quality
can be even better. From old, low-yielding vines,
all farmed biodynamically, this is rich, smoky
and seductive with plush red fruits and hints
of garrigue. 92 DC, 16 JR
