2020 Vacqueyras Rouge “Cuvée de Lopy”
Domaine le Sang des Cailloux

Serge Férigoule of Sang des Cailloux is the quintessential Provençal vigneron: his jovial, singing accent; generous, laid-back disposition; and silver handlebar mustache could come right out of a Marcel Pagnol film. His wines, accordingly, are a picture-perfect depiction of his home region, loaded with aromas of Provence and plenty of southern soul. This old-vines bottling is all about smoky garrigue, dense black fruit, taut leather, chewy tannins, and stones. It will provide an authentic Vacqueyras experience for many years.

2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Télégramme”

2021 Vacqueyras Rouge “Cuvée Azalaïs”

Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented with herbes de Provence and ripe black cherry.

Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.
