In a spectacular location, surrounded by scrubland and facing the Dentelles de Montmirail, the pebbles of Provence deliver a precious concoction… At the head of the Sang des Cailloux (Blood of the Pebbles) domaine since 1990, Serge Férigoule has brought it a breath of fresh air and has made this ancient terroir express itself fully, bathed in sun and mistral. Passing on passion and enthusiasm to his wines, he delivers us with harmonious and mouth-watering Vacqueyras, with the strength and roundness so characteristic of the appellation.
