CLOS Du CAILLOU
2019 COTES Du RHONE
CUVEE UNIQUE VV
Le Clos du Caillou is one of the top producers in the Southern Rhône Valley. Their devotion to organic and biodynamic farming on their predominately sand-based soils produces wines with a fine-grained, silky texture. The Vieilles Vignes (Old Vines) Cuvèe Unique Cotes-du-Rhone is hand-harvested from premium old-vine lots with an average age of 45 years that bears fruit with extreme depth and flavor intensity.
The 2019 vintage is a classic, regional blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 4% Carignan, 3% Mourvedre, and 3% Counoise, fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks, then aged in upright wooden tanks and large oak casks for 16 months. The final wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve the expression of the unique terroir.

“Le Clos du Caillou Cuvée Unique VV begins with seductive aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, followed by classic Rhône nuances of lavender and rosemary (known locally as garrigue), and finished with subtle white pepper notes. The sheer complexity of this wine will have your taste buds tickled with pleasure, and the bright, refreshing acidity carries the finish into a silky mouthfeel that will have you yearning for one more glass. Simply stunning, this wine is a prime example of French elegance.”
