Domaine La Fourmone Vacqueyras “Raço Racejo” 2020 is a powerful yet refined old-vine Southern Rhône red crafted from select parcels in Vacqueyras. Produced by the family-run Domaine La Fourmone, this cuvée represents one of the estate’s more concentrated and terroir-driven expressions, showcasing the depth and complexity achievable from organically farmed Rhône vineyards.

The name “Raço Racejo” reflects the domaine’s heritage and dedication to preserving traditional Rhône viticulture. Sourced from limestone and clay-rich soils with old Grenache and Mourvèdre vines, the 2020 vintage delivers remarkable aromatic intensity, structure, and freshness. The wine is vinified traditionally with minimal oak influence to maintain purity of fruit and terroir expression.

The outstanding 2020 vintage in the Southern Rhône provides ripe concentration balanced by freshness and fine tannins, making this wine both approachable with decanting and suitable for mid- to long-term cellaring. Critics have praised its complexity, peppery spice, and elegant structure.
