“A white Vacqueyras that rivals the region’s finest wines”
“ "Honeysuckle, honey, tobacco, and spices blend with citrus notes and a hint of biscuit. Medium-bodied but very fresh, with lively acidity. This wine offers beautiful concentration, good length, remarkable savory depth and minerality, and a lovely finish. As good as the incredible 2021? Certainly close." (Decanter 2025)

Rated 3 stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
A leading figure in Vacqueyras, we owe a great deal to Serge Férigoule, whose wines have been an integral part of this appellation’s history. Starting out as a vineyard worker, he has been the owner of Sang des Cailloux since 1990. About twenty hectares scattered between Vacqueyras and Sarrians are harvested at peak ripeness and aged for an extended period. In an uncompromising style that almost turns its back on modernity, this estate produces five red cuvées, whose concentration and delicate texture would benefit from greater aromatic precision. Come on, just a touch of progress, and the blood of the stones will continue to flow down the throats of many wine lovers!

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This Vacqueyras estate boasts a magnificent terroir on a plateau of rounded pebbles. Certified organic since 2010 and biodynamic since 2012, with strictly controlled yields, the estate produces powerful Vacqueyras wines that require time to reveal their full potential. These structured, highly mature wines, however, tend to refine over recent vintages. The Lopy cuvée can be so rich and dense that, in certain vintages, we may prefer the balance of the entry-level wines. The white, not released in 2022, stands out as a fine benchmark in the region.

About the wine:
A slight hint of reduction on the nose, with lovely fullness on the palate. Fresh, vibrant, and with good depth on the palate. Balanced, refined, and elegant, with a fresh character and almond aromas; already very open and delicious.
