2022 Vacqueyras Rouge “Cuvée de Lopy”

Domaine le Sang des Cailloux
Discount Eligible $59.00
AT CART MAX

Hailing from the family’s oldest vines, this bottling takes the depth, soul, and structure of Floureto up a level. Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now, after a decant and alongside a ribeye, but will also evolve beautifully over the next ten years.

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
