Origin

Produced in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, located in the Southern Rhône Valley, France. The estate Clos du Caillou is renowned for its high-quality terroir and traditional winemaking methods.

Variety

The wine is a blend primarily composed of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grape varieties, typical of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted to ensure optimal quality. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with regular punch-downs to extract color and tannins. The wine is aged in a combination of concrete vats and oak barrels to develop complexity and balance before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
  • Aroma: Intense and complex bouquet featuring ripe red and black fruits, spices, and subtle earthy notes.
  • Palate: Full-bodied with rich fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and elegant with hints of licorice and pepper.

Food pairings

Ideal to accompany hearty dishes such as:

  • Grilled or roasted red meats (lamb, beef)
  • Game dishes like venison or wild boar
  • Rich stews and casseroles
  • Mature hard cheeses
