Chêne Bleu Abélard, Vin de Pays du Vaucluse — 2012 – The Wine Advocate – 93 Points

A blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah, the 2012 IGP Vaucluse Abelard is nominally the more “masculine” of the two red cuvées. In fact, this vintage, the Abelard is softer and plusher, albeit slightly less complex. Smoky elements frame ripe black cherries on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is ripe and supple, giving way to a velvety feel on the finish.
