Description
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux Vacqueyras Blanc Un Sang Blanc 2017
The blend of this cuvée is seldom anything other than complex and 2015 is no exception…it’s made up of 20% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette, 15% Viognier, 15% Bourboulenc, 15% Roussane and 15% Marsanne. Yields are 22 hl/ha and both vinification and elevage take place in large 450 litre vats, with a full malolactic fermentation and lees stirring too. The result, unsurprisingly, is fantastically complex, with citric fruit to the fore, a mineral backdrop and hints of fennel, white pepper, bitter almond and papaya added for good measure.
