"A blend of the very best: red berries, spices, and rich, indulgent flavors... Wonderful!"
"Produced from a vineyard located right next to Coudoulet and composed of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and the remainder Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Counoise, the 2024 Côtes du Rhône Le Bouquet des Garrigues was aged in large oak casks and concrete tanks. Its medium ruby color is followed by a lovely, fragrant nose of red and black fruits, flowers, garrigue, and notes of Provençal spices. It is medium-bodied, juicy, and well-balanced, with supple tannins and a style that is juicy, elegant, and impeccably crafted.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2025)

Rated estate (2024 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Sylvie Vacheron, recently joined by her daughter Marilou, draws on a vineyard located in the northeastern part of the appellation, part of which produces excellent Côtes-du-Rhône wines, very close to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards. These wines achieve a very high level of expression, with skillfully aged, full-bodied wines that offer a long finish. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines have joined the very select circle of the appellation’s finest wines and are crafted to reflect the character of their terroir.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Led by Sylvie Vacheron for over 20 years, alongside oenologist Bruno Gaspard, this organically farmed estate has 54 hectares of vineyards, including 9 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and 44 hectares in Côtes-du-Rhône (part of which, Le Clos, is located entirely within the Châteauneuf appellation). The 2020 acquisition of Domaine de Panisse—6.5 hectares in Châteauneuf and 5 hectares in Côtes-du-Rhône—is intended to bring in the next generation: Axel and Marilou, Sylvie’s children.

About the estate:
Always one of my most eagerly anticipated visits, Le Clos du Caillou continues to produce some of the finest, most consistent Châteauneufs, year after year. Marilou Vacheron and Bruno Gaspard are generally candid in their assessments of the vintages.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Its elegant bouquet takes us from notes of bergamot to aromas of wild strawberries. Here, finesse takes center stage, with a light, supple texture thanks to soft tannins and flavorful, lingering fruit. (RVF Magazine No. 702 – July/August 2026)
About the estate:
Le Clos du Caillou, a 53-hectare estate located in the town of Courthézon, has been certified organic since 2010. Sylvie Vacheron and her children, Marilou and Axel, who recently returned to the estate, have guided the wines toward greater finesse and depth. Along with Château de Panisse in 2020, Clos du Caillou acquired an additional 6.5 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and 7.5 hectares in Côtes du Rhône. Old Cinsault vines planted in the 1950s and Grenache vines from the 1920s are also part of the acquisition.

About the estate:
The Vacheron family, Bruno Gaspard, and consultant Philippe Cambie continue to work their magic at this modestly sized vineyard located on the eastern edge of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They produce a wide range of wines, all remarkable, with their two flagship Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, the Quartz and La Réserve, bordering on perfection in just about every vintage.
