Vineyards & Vinification

Un Sang Blanc is a rare white Vacqueyras from a region famed for reds, with fewer than 4,000 bottles produced annually.

Blend of six local grape varieties. The total 17 hectares of vineyard sit on a plateau facing Dentelles de Montmirail. Benefits from a Mediterranean climate and diverse soils like reddish-brown clay-limestone with galets roulés (rounded stones), similar to those in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Harvested by hand. Each variety is vinified separately in 450L oak barrels with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 12 months before being bottled without fining or filtration.

Vacqueyras is known for its robust character and ability to express the unique terroir. Vacqueyras wines are often considered an affordable alternative to neighbouring appellations like Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, offering exceptional quality and distinctive style.

Un Sang Blanc was first produced in 2012, a relatively new addition to the estate’s lineup.


The Winery

“Le Sang des Cailloux” translates to “The Blood of the Stones” in English.

Serge Férigoule acquired Le Sang des Cailloux in 1990 after working for a decade with the previous owner. The estate spans 17 hectares in the Vacqueyras appellation, situated on a plateau facing the Dentelles de Montmirail. The reddish-brown clay-limestone soil and the famous galets roulés impart terrific intensity and depth to the wines. Le Sang des Cailloux primarily produces red wine. The Cuvée Traditionnelle is named after Serge’s daughters, Floureto, Doucinello, and Azalaïs, while the “Vieilles Vignes” is also known as “Lopy,” named after his hometown.
