Cdp Reserve Red 2021

Clos du Caillou CDP Reserve Red is produced in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, located in the Southern Rhône Valley of France. This prestigious wine region is renowned for its rich terroir and Mediterranean climate, contributing to the wine's complexity and depth.

The CDP Reserve Red is a blend primarily composed of traditional Rhône grape varieties, including:

• Grenache
• Syrah
• Mourvèdre

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure optimal quality. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in a combination of concrete vats and oak barrels. This process enhances the wine's structure and complexity while preserving its fresh fruit character.

CDP Reserve Red exhibits a deep ruby color with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by spicy notes of black pepper and subtle hints of leather and herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied with well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish.

This wine pairs excellently with rich and flavorful dishes, including:

• Grilled red meats such as lamb or beef
• Game dishes like venison or wild boar
• Hearty stews and casseroles
• Mature cheeses such as aged Gouda or Comté
