2023 Vacqueyras Blanc “Un Sang Blanc”
Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
A relatively rare beast, Serge’s blanc is a ripe, honey-infused cornucopia of fruit, a blend of six grapes, to be exact. This is not a wine to age but a wine to enjoy with rich, oily foods. It is made more in the mold of a Roussanne-based southern Rhône than a Marsanne-based northern Rhône, if you get my drift.

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
