"A Vacqueyras like we love them!

"Vibrant and sexy, Vacqueyras Cuvée Floureto 2022 dazzles with aromas of violets, black cherry, black plum, garrigue and white pepper. It is made from early-harvested Grenache and Syrah grapes, with small touches of Mourvèdre and Cinsaut, all aged for ten months in old oak foudres. Very soft tannins frame this medium-bodied 2022, with the nervous tension characteristic of winemaker Frédéric Férigoule. The finish is refreshing" (Vinous 2023)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Serge Férigoule is a key figure in the Vacqueyras appellation, and his wines are an integral part of its history. Originally a vineyard worker, he has been the owner of Sang des Cailloux since 1990. Some twenty hectares scattered between Vacqueyras and Sarrians are harvested at perfect ripeness and aged for a long time. In an uncompromising style that almost turns its back on modernity, this domaine produces five red cuvées, whose concentration and delicate touch would benefit from greater aromatic precision. A hint of progress and the blood of the stones will continue to run down the throats of many wine-lovers!

About the wine:

Seductive aromas of Damascus plum unfold on a fresh palate with juicy acidity, making this a very tasty wine. It's also packed with crunchy black cherries. A great explosion of fruit, little length, but a very thirst-quenching wine. The finish is marked by black cherry pits and ripe tannins. Now includes an additional half-hectare of Counoise.

Domaine rated (2024 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

This beautiful Vacqueyras estate boasts a magnificent terroir on a plateau of rolled pebbles. Certified organic since 2010, and biodynamic since 2012, with strictly controlled yields, the estate produces imposing Vacqueyras that need time to reveal themselves: these are often highly structured, rich wines, with high maturities, even if, in recent vintages, they have tended to become more refined. Cuvée Lopy is the estate's richest, densest wine; in certain vintages, we prefer the balance of the entry-level wines. The white is establishing itself as an attractive benchmark in the sector.
