2022 Vacqueyras Rouge “Cuvée de Lopy”
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
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.

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
