What makes this wine special?
A real little rarity of six southern grape varieties which are balanced and which unfurl in a deliciously contrasted register.
More infoThe rare wine of the domain, (under 4,000 bottles produced) Sang Blanc features six southern grape varieties that balance one another in a register that is both fine and fresh, pure and complex. To achieve this, the domain limited the yield to less than 35 hl / ha, did manual harvesting and vinified and aged the product for 12 months in 450-litre barrels. The wine was also subject to malolactic fermentation.
About the Producer Le Sang des Cailloux
★ Partner ProducerDomaine du Sang des Cailloux was created in 1975 and bought by Serge Férigoule in 1990. As a sustainable winegrower, Serge decided to prohibit the use of chemical herbicides and artificial products. In 2003, his son Frédéric joined him to assist with cultivating the domain's 17-hectare vineyard on a plateau facing the breathtaking Dentelles de Montmirail in the Vacqueyras appellation. Together, they decided to apply firstly for organic certification and then biodynamic. The reddish brown, clay-limestone and pebble terroir is primarily cultivated for red wine. For some years though Serge and Frédéric have also been trying their hand at white wine.
