Le Clos du Caillou - Côtes-du-Rhône Le Bouquet des Garrigues blanc 2023

4.3/5 (3 reviews)

"A spring bouquet for this gourmet cuvée!

"More complex than the classic cuvée, Côtes du Rhône Bouquet des Garriques Blanc 2023 offers aromas of pear, white peach, flowers and white fruits. Medium-bodied, round and elegant, it is delicately juicy on the mid-palate, with good acidity and a long, greedy finish. This is a blend of 50% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette Rose, 20% Roussanne and 10% Viognier." (Wine Advocate 2024)

Le Clos du Caillou - Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Réserve 2023

"La Crème de la crème, to always have in reserve!"

"Châteauneuf Du Pape La Réserve 2023 is a normal blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre (60/40) that has been aged in demi-muids and barrels, with very little new wood. Its aromas are characterized by superb notes of black raspberry, spring flowers, baking spices and graphite. This medium- to full-bodied wine is remarkably pure, elegant and consistent." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Le Clos du Caillou - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Quartz rouge 2023

"An impressive vintage, a must for your cellar!"

"A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah from the Les Cassanets lieu-dit and fully de-stemmed, Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Quartz 2023 is a deep ruby color with a gorgeous nose of black raspberry, peppery garrigue, violets and flowers. I love its complexity, and it's medium to full-bodied, with remarkable purity and beautiful tannins." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Le Clos du Caillou - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres blanc 2024

"A complex, suave, well-balanced Châteauneuf du Pape to be uncorked in a few years!"

A blend of Grenache and Roussanne from the sandy terroirs of "Les Bédines" and "Pignan", Les Safres blanc is expressive on the nose, with a floral, slightly graphite bouquet, and opens with greedy notes of peaches mixed with candied blood orange and citron.

Le Clos du Caillou - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres rouge 2023

"A Châteauneuf-du-Pape with a Burgundian identity!

"A seductive nose of blueberry and licorice. Structured and silky on the palate, with spices and well-dosed wood giving depth to the mid-palate. Very fine, well-balanced tannins give structure and tension to the fruity core. Very well balanced. (Jancis Robinson 2024)

Le Clos du Caillou - Côtes-du-Rhône Les Quartz rouge 2022

4.1/5 (7 reviews)

"A magical vintage with cherry, redcurrant, mentholated and roasted aromas!"

"I loved the Côtes Du Rhône Les Quartz 2022, and this quintessential Southern Rhône will outshine many a Châteauneuf Du Pape. Black raspberry, black licorice, peppery garrigue and floral notes are all present in its aromas, and the palate is full-bodied, layered and structured. It has the firmer tannins that this terroir always produces and will benefit from a few years in the cellar." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

This blend of 80% Grenache Noir and a combination of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan forms an exceptional Côtes-du-Rhône." (Wine Advocate 2024)

Le Clos du Caillou - Côtes-du-Rhône La Réserve rouge 2020

5/5 (2 reviews)

"The jewel of the domain

"(Jeb Dunnuck 2022) The estate's great Côtes-du-Rhône cuvée, similar to a Châteauneuf made for ageing, will be interesting to drink now on the fruit, but can be kept for twenty years or so.

3.9/5 (15 reviews)

"Formidable Côtes-du-Rhône!"

"Côtes du Rhône Le Bouquet des Garrigues 2020 - a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and the rest Cinsault, Counoise and Mourvèdre - releases vibrant aromas of lavender and ripe red raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, easy, silky and complex, this is a beauty." (Wine Advocate 2022)

Le Clos du Caillou - Côtes-du-Rhône La Réserve blanc 2021

With an air of Châteauneuf, this flagship white is made entirely from old Clairette roses. The nose presents delicate aromas of white flowers, peach and honey. The palate is marked by lovely tension and salinity, with hints of vanilla. A fine white for the table, made for laying down!

Le Clos du Caillou - Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2018

This blend of 70% Grenache enhanced by Mourvèdre and Syrah, expresses aromas of red fruits, spices and star anise. The elegant, gourmet palate offers flavors of wild plums and cocoa beans. The finish is marked by sweet spices reminiscent of the garrigue terroir, with a long, lingering finish. A fine introduction to Châteauneuf-du-Pape!

Le Clos du Caillou - Côtes-du-Rhône La Réserve 2019

4/5 (1 review)

"The 100% Clairette Rose 2019 Côtes-du-Rhône La Réserve Blanc was vinified in vats, then aged in new demi-muids (55%) and stainless steel (45%). Hints of pencil shavings accentuate the peach and lime notes on the nose, while the medium- to full-bodied palate is soft and silky, offering no obstacle to pleasure as it reaches a long, tangy finish. I wouldn't hesitate to put it up against many Châteauneuf blancs." (Wine Advocate 2020 - Joe Czerwinski).
