WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux Cuvée de Lopy is a red wine produced by Serge Férigoule in the Vacqueyras appellation of the Southern Rhône Valley. The vineyard is situated on rocky soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes, roughly 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, are hand-harvested and fermented using natural yeasts, resulting in a wine that is true to its terroir. The Cuvée de Lopy is known for its rich, full-bodied character with notes of red fruit, spice, and earth. This wine is a perfect example of the quality and craftsmanship that can be found in the wines of the Rhône Valley.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux Cuvée de Lopy is a delightful red wine from the southern Rhône region of France.It has an inviting nose of red fruits, spices, and herbs. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and supple acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of strawberry, plum, licorice, and white pepper. This is a great example of the Southern Rhône Valley's signature style, and it would pair nicely with a variety of game meats, roasted vegetables, and stews.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
