Wine:

A sure value of the Southern Rhône Valley, the 2021 white Vacqueyras Un Sang Blanc is a ripe white wine with a long profile, full-bodied and well supported by the good fatness and structure provided by the maturation in 450-liter barrels. The notes of white and yellow fruits and the tasty and ripe palate compose a white wine that lacks neither freshness nor balance. This wine deserves to be discovered.

Color:

Nose:

Pure and subtle with beautiful aromas of white and yellow fruits, fresh almond, a touch of fennel, all underlined by fine floral notes.

Palate:

Suave and precise, this wine reveals a lively and fresh taste, a well-balanced structure, the finish makes us travel on beautiful mineral bitters.

Temperature:

Cellar aging:

From now until 2029

A Vacqueyras prodigy, driven by the dexterity of Serge and Frédéri Férigoule, the Sang des Cailloux estate has a magnificent terroir on a plateau of rolled pebbles. The estate produces biodynamic wines that require time to fully reveal themselves and are very structured and rich, with a high level of maturity. But eventually, what a reward!
