Domaine le Sang des Cailloux Vacqueyras Cuvée Floureto
Vacqueyras, the village whose apt name translates as “Valley of the Stones” from the local dialect, celebrates its thirtieth anniversary as an official cru of the Rhône this year. Coincidentally, at Sang des Cailloux, Serge Férigoule also celebrates his thirtieth anniversary of taking over the estate, where he was an employee for many years, before his boss called it quits and handed him the keys. Pioneers in the methods of organics, soon followed by biodynamics, the Férigoules have honed a unique style of Vacqueyras that mixes deep, dark color with a lightness of touch, rusticity with warmth, and minerality with delicious fresh fruit.

Reviews
Decanter – “70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre. Showing some reduction for now, but there’s several months to rectify this before bottling. Medium-bodied, blackberry and redcurrant, this is very svelte and ripe but not excessive with beautifully balanced acidity and fine tannins. You feel the warmth of the year, but this is so much more refined than most Vacqueyras in 2019. Very drinkable, a big success this year. Drinking Window: 2021-2025.” (93 Pts)
