In a less elevated position than its neighbour Gigondas, is the appellation of Vacqueras.
Vacqueras wines are mmore rustic in style than that of Gigondas with wild scrub, earth & spicy components.
Half the wine here has to be Grenache, with at least 20% Syrah & 20% Mourvedre.
There is usually some young & bottle aged examples of this region from good names like Domaine Les Sang des Cailloux, Patrick Lesec & Domaine La Boiussieres.
