2023 Vacqueyras Blanc “Un Sang Blanc”
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit, a blend of six grapes, to be exact. This is not a wine to age but a wine to enjoy with rich, oily foods. It is made more in the mold of a Roussanne-based southern Rhône than a Marsanne-based northern Rhône, if you get my drift.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
