Vacqueyras Oumage Le Sang des Cailloux Cuvée Tao 2005
The wine
On tasting, this Vacqueyras aged for 24 months in 450-litre casks has an intense and deep ruby hue that exudes an intense bouquet of chocolate, leather, game, sweet spices and ripe black fruits. On palate, its sweetness and density are expressed in a particularly tasty and persistent register. Superb with a flavoursome cut of meat!
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.
