Domaine le Sang des Cailloux Cuvee Oumage 2019
' Founded in 1975, Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux took off with the arrival of Serge Ferigoule. Hired in the 80s as an agricultural worker, Serge became owner of the estate in 1990 with a clear vision: to abandon chemical products for a viticulture that was more respectful of nature. His choices initiated a transition to a new era. In 2003, his son Frederi joined the family adventure. Self-taught and driven by a strong commitment to their terroir, they obtained organic certification in 2007. Three years later, they led the estate towards biodynamics, an avant-garde approach in the region. Today, alongside his wife, Marion, he upholds Le Sang des Cailloux as an essential benchmark of the Vacqueyras appellation. Le Sang des Cailloux is located in the southern Rhône Valley, on the Garrigues plateau. In the background, the Dentelles de Montmirail offer a sublime panorama. Its 17 hectare vineyard extends over land where 15 hectares of red grape variety vines and 2 hectares of white grape variety vines are mixed, planted in co-plantation. The vines, planted on clay-limestone soils covered with pebbles (cailloux in French), inspired the poetic name of the estate. This unique geological composition gives the wines a unique minerality and a remarkable aromatic depth. With an average age of 50 years, the estate's vines, some planted over 80 years ago, testify to a precious heritage. The main grapes are Grenache, Syrah, and to a lesser extent, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Carignan and Counoise, which faithfully reveal the typicity of the Vacqueyras appellation. '
Nuits-Saint-Georges, Edouard Delaunay 2020
This wine captures everything we love about Nuits-Saint-Georges — structure, energy, and just the right touch of generosity. The nose leads with ripe red and black cherries, dark berries and a hint of violet, followed by subtle spice, forest floor and a touch of oak. It’s supple yet confident, with silky tannins wrapped around fresh fruit and a core of minerality. 2020 was an exceptional year in Burgundy. Despite the heat and drought, many growers achieved brilliant balance, and the reds are particularly exciting: concentrated fruit yet surprisingly fresh, with fine tannins and lifted acidity. It’s a vintage that’s both charming young and capable of ageing gracefully. Delaunay's choice of parcels, and pragmatic approach – where every cuvée is treated individually without a set formula for quantity of new oak, or amount of whole bunches used, allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the terroirs.
