Jancis Robinson
"A white Vacqueyras that rivals the finest wines of the region."
" Honeysuckle, honey, tobacco, and spices combine with citrus notes and a hint of biscuit. Medium-bodied but very fresh, with lively acidity. This wine has beautiful concentration, good length, remarkable sapidity and salinity, and lovely persistence. As good as the incredible 2021? Certainly close." (Decanter 2025)

3-star rating (High-quality production, serving 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 accompanied the history of this appellation. Initially a vineyard worker, he has been the owner of Sang des Cailloux since 1990. Around twenty hectares scattered between Vacqueyras and Sarrians are harvested at perfect maturity and aged for a long time. In an uncompromising style that almost turns its back on modernity, this estate produces five red wines, whose concentration and delicate touch deserve greater aromatic precision. Come on, just a little 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 good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This Vacqueyras estate boasts magnificent terroir on a plateau of rounded pebbles. Certified organic since 2010 and biodynamic since 2012, with strictly controlled yields, the property produces impressive Vacqueyras wines that require time to reveal their full potential. These structured, highly mature wines tend to refine with age in 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 presented in 2022, stands out as a fine benchmark in the sector.
