2010 Vacqueyras, Cuvée Lopy Vieilles Vignes, Dom. Le Sang des Cailloux

Vacqueyras, Cuvee Lopy Vieilles Vignes, Dom. Le Sang des Cailloux
The old vine cuvée, which, thankfully, does not change its name, is a blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah. Serge maintains that Vacqueyras is not the ideal environment for Mourvèdre, although, ironically, this wine has a smoky, peaty character with powerful notes of licorice and sousbois behind the rich fruit. Outstanding!
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

One of the best properties in the appellation of Vacqueyras, certainly the best-named, Le Sang des Cailloux is located on the limestone escarpment which divides the villages of Vacqueyras and Sarrians. Serge Férigoule is famous for two things, one trivial and the other very serious. Yet it is the idiosyncrasy betrayed by his handle-bar moustaches which perhaps reveals an approach to winemaking which is as individual as it is successful.

Vacqueyras, Cuvee Lopy Vieilles Vignes, Dom. Le Sang des Cailloux
Dark purple crimson. Toastiness and webbing on the nose. Very rich and round. Flattering and voluptuous with real interest. And zip. Real tension. Bravissimo!
