Le Clos du Caillou / Domaine du Caillou Les Quartz Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2020

Wines from Le Clos du Caillou are Rhône blends at their most intense. Concentrated and richly textured, these organically raised, older-vine wines capture the spice and silk of old-vine Grenache grown on the region’s finest terroirs. The region’s “galets roulés,” or large quartz river stones, are common in Châteauneuf’s finest vineyards. Left behind in the former path of the Rhone River, these stones absorb heat during the day and release it slowly in the evenings, resulting in perfectly ripe grapes that create a structured, mineral-rich wine.
