2023 Vacqueyras Rouge “ Doucinello”
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
Named for Serge’s daughter, this red effectively showcases that fresh wine doesn’t just mean fresh fruit notes. The flavors are mostly deep and dark—stones, licorice, black olive, and blackberry—but the frame is lithe, yielding a mesmerizing yin and yang.

Great winemakers, great terroirs, there is never any hurry. And I no longer buy into this idea of “peak” maturity. Great winemakers, great terroirs, their wines offer different pleasures at different ages.
