Mer De Cailloux

Domaine le Sang des Cailloux

Vacqueyras Rouge Red Rhône Blend 2021

The first time I had a Vacqueyras. We had it with a dinner of lamb chops and miniature potatoes. It is pleasantly tart, a little dry. Notes of dark cherry, tobacco. — 2 months ago

Cayuse Vineyards

Cailloux Vineyard Syrah 2017

Dark ruby/Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Stinky nose, as expected, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, barnyard, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, tar, black tea and bitter herbs.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a unique Syrah from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Soft and elegant. Very much 'in your face' kind of wine.

This 7 year old is still young, and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

This Single Vineyard is nicely balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel. Not my usual style, but very tasty.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.

Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Syrah with a touch of Viognier. Only 859 cases produced.

13.8% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$120.

Val de Mer French Sparkling Brut Nature Rosé Blend

Piuze makes fantastic Chablis, so perhaps not surprising how much value his sparkling wine brings. Much more detail & incisive focus than 17$ should be; very dry on palate, with small red berry essences & very balanced. This beats up Cremants at the same price point, & then some. — 5 months ago

Cuvée Floureto Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend 2022

2022. Medium body. Spicefest! Giving out plenty of love currently altho this could use a year or two to consolidate and advance. Underrated value as compared to both Gigondas and CDP. Covers those same bases food wise and btg. 10.30.24. — 2 months ago

Les Cailloux (Lucien et André Brunel)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhône Blend 2019

Holy sh*t this has hit a new level. Floral as all get out with ripe jasmine and pressed white flowers. Gained massive volume with a few years of age; tremendous rocky bite, phenolic, smokey, notes of caramel, brûlée, tangerine essential oil. Just fantastic. — 5 months ago
