2021 Vacqueyras “Un Sang Blanc”
Domaine Le Sang des CaillouxThis blanc opens with all the lusciousness you might expect from a Rhône Valley white blend, evoking melon, peach, and chamomile, but it finishes with a refreshing and zesty citrus note that makes it an outstanding bottle to serve alongside all kinds of seafood or fresh cheeses.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
