WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux Cuvée Doucinello is a premium red wine produced by Serge Férigoule in the Vacqueyras appellation of the Rhône Valley. The vineyard is situated on rocky soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using natural yeasts, resulting in a wine that is true to its terroir. The wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, and is aged in oak barrels for a year before bottling. The wine is full-bodied and complex, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earth. It is a perfect representation of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Rhône Valley.

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
