The younger generation at Le Clos du Caillou as of 2020 purchased a spectacular property north of the family estate in Courthézon. A bold red and a beautiful tribute to the elegance and silk of very old-vine Grenache! The estate’s Châteauneuf vineyard surround the centuries-old farmhouse like a clock; here Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault are farmed and then blended. (This region, the lieu-dit ‘La Janasse,’ is also home to Domaine de la Janasse’s oldest vines.) Many vines were planted in the early 1920s.

2020 vintage. Medium-heavy/full bodied with plenty of chunkiness and grip. Darker, brooding fruits in play vs those light, fancy free, butterflyesque fruits. Should be interesting (in a good way) in a half-decade. 4.3.24.
