Ratings: Robert Parker 89/100, Bettane & Desseauve 15.5/20, RVF 14.5/20
“Perfectly crafted, with no heaviness or over-extraction in a hot and often rather challenging vintage. Fresh red fruit on the nose that carries through to the palate with lovely freshness and perfect balance. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2012)

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. Originally 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 perfect 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 deserve 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 you taste 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 take time to reveal their full potential. These structured, highly mature wines, however, have tended to become more refined 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 produced in 2022, stands out as a fine benchmark in the region.
