Domaine de l’Espigouette is currently under the stewardship of owners Marie-France and Bernard Latour and their sons, Emilien and Julien. Their classically styled Vacqueyras with an appealing hint of rusticity has made them a go-to for fans of traditional southern Rhône wines that are structured and balanced to reward patience. There are no tricks used here to produce an unadorned wine, which is sourced from eight hectares of vines, fermented mostly in concrete vats and raised in large, used foudres. There’s an understated quality to the wine that’s deceiving, as a few years of bottle age adds intriguing, earthy (but not too earthy) complexity and rounds out what can often be youthfully grippy tannins. My experience with this wine, and the others that the Latours produce, goes back to the mid-1980s, and I’ve rarely, if ever, been disappointed by them, even in rough vintages.
