Le Clos Du Caillou 'le Bouquet des Garrigues' Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2025
Wines from Le Clos du Caillou are Rhône blends at their most intense. Concentrated and richly textured, these organically raised wines capture the spice of older-vine Grenache as grown on the region’s finest terroirs. The estate in Courthézon, in the northeastern part of the Châteauneuf-du- Pape appellation, boasts a mix of terroirs with a predominance of sand, which gives Caillou wines their silky elegance and fine-grained texture. The estate has been practicing biodynamic viticulture since 2003, and was certified organic in 2010. Caillou’s devotion to the character of the land (through bottling wines according to terroir) and its dedication to natural viticulture has only intensified over the years; this is what makes Caillou one of the leading estates in the southern Rhône.
Winemaker's notes: This wine has a clear, bright color with limpid reflections. The nose, expressive and seductive, opens with fruity notes of grapefruit, Victoria pineapple, and white peach. The palate is elegant, mouthwatering, and complex. It reveals aromas of citrus and white flowers, accompanied by a touch of iodine that brings a beautiful minerality. This cuvée is distinguished by its early harvest, offering a decidedly fresh profile and light alcohol levels. The Bouquet des Garrigues white wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with a meal.
