A new vintage, the 2010 was rated: Gault Millau 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20,
"The highly confidential white is a hymn to the great wines of the south". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France - RVF) The blend of six grape varieties that make up this white cuvée undeniably gives it a special aromatic dimension, blending aromas of apricot and vine peach with hints of garrigue. Powerful yet well-structured and well-balanced, this wine is ideal with Mediterranean cuisine!

Domaine du Sang des Cailloux
Vacqueyras
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, 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!

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 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.

Note and review by M. FABRICE G. Published on 07/06/2016
A very pretty nectar with a pronounced yellow color. A real perfume on the nose, and an ample, very fat palate, with yellow fruits. Spendid white wine from the Southern Rhône. Probably one of the best I know.
