2023 Côtes du Rhône 'Le Caillou', Le Clos du Caillou
Deep ruby in the glass, this Côtes du Rhône is all about generosity and grace. Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and violet mingle with cracked pepper, wild herbs and a touch of garrigue. The palate is supple and full-bodied, with juicy dark fruit, silky tannins and a hint of spice running through to a warm, lingering finish. Plush yet polished, it’s Rhône comfort in a glass.
For when: the food’s rustic, the company’s real, and the night’s just getting started.
Pairs with: roast lamb, ratatouille, or anything charred on the grill.
If this wine were a fabric, it’d be soft velvet with a bit of swagger.
Le Clos du Caillou sits on the border of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where its old vines grow in the same sandy, stony soils that define the region’s finest terroirs. Le Caillou is crafted primarily from Grenache and Syrah, farmed organically and vinified with a light hand to preserve freshness and finesse. The 2022 vintage shows everything this estate does best - ripe southern fruit balanced by lift and purity, proving once again that elegance and generosity can share the same glass.
