2022 Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux "Cuvée Floureto" Vacqueyras

The complex 2022 Vacqueyras Cuvée Floureto unwinds with crunchy red and black fruits, dried herbs, pressed violets and peppery undertones. Gently structured by ripe tannins, the 2022 offers generous flavor concentration yet flawlessly maintains balance and freshness through bright acidity. This Vacqueyras is a total delight that will start showing its full potential two years from now. (NG)

Quite a full red; the bouquet has a meaty tone, droplets mixed with white pepper, low-key spicing in its red fruit. The palate intros on fluid red cherry fruit, is clean winded, light on its feet, has a note of rose-floral attached to its red fruits. It drinks with ease, and has the attribute of freshness as well as a little pure elegance, is certainly a more New School Vacqueyras, shows no signs of the dry summer, even has a near Pinot connection, gives a refreshing glass. 14°. 60% Gren, 20% Syr, 10% Mourv, 4% Counoise, 3% Carignan, 3% Cinsault. *4 Stars*
