Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve 2022 surges with dark cherry and plum fruit layered with floral lift and Mediterranean herbs, wrapped in powerful yet refined tannins. The palate is dense and concentrated but kept vibrant by tangy red-fruit acidity, leading to a long, saline-tinged finish that shows both richness and precision in this particularly intense, low-yield vintage.
Herb-crusted lamb rack; Slow-braised beef short ribs; Wild boar ragù with pappardelle

Le Clos du Caillou “La Réserve” Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape is the estate’s more aristocratic cuvée—a Grenache‑Mourvèdre dominant blend from sandy La Guigasse/Pignan parcels that’s co‑fermented, largely raised in 600L demi‑muids, and shows concentrated yet elegant black‑ and red‑fruit layers underscored by garrigue, pepper, cocoa and mineral salinity; it’s made with organic/biodynamic practices and built for medium‑ to long‑term aging while retaining Provençal freshness and spice.
