Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Quartz 2022 shows vivid red and dark berry fruit wrapped in notes of spice, dried herbs and floral lift, all carried on a pure, concentrated palate that stays energetic rather than heavy. Silky tannins and a stony, mineral edge give the long finish both precision and depth, making this a particularly refined and focused expression of this warm vintage.

Clos du Caillou’s Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape “Les Quartz” is a Grenache‑led, Syrah‑accented cuvée from the Les Cassanets lieu‑dit—planted on sandy soils with the region’s galets roulés—that’s fully destemmed, aged mainly in demi‑muids (with some amphora/neutral oak) and fashioned for both perfume and structure; expect bright red and black fruit wrapped in garrigue and spice, very fine tannins, and a supple yet ageworthy Châteauneuf expression.
