Vacqueyras Un Sang Blanc Le Sang des Cailloux 2023

The wine

The 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

Domaine 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.
