2022 Vacqueyras Rouge “Cuvée de Lopy”
Domaine le Sang des CaillouxHailing 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.

January Club Chevalier ~ The majesty of the La Crau vineyard is encapsulated in this wine. I can't think of a grander expression of Southern Rhone terroir.

2022 Vacqueyras Rouge “Floureto”

The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe.
2008 Gigondas “Terrasse du Diable”
France | Southern Rhône
On the surface is an abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day. Below the surface lurks a bitter austerity.

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
