    Description Côtes-du-Rhône "Esprit Nature"

    Estate

    Clos du Caillou is a family-run estate located in Courthézon, near the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. Founded in the 1950s, the estate is renowned for the finesse and elegance of its wines. It practices environmentally friendly farming and is certified organic. The winery has been modernized while preserving Rhône winemaking traditions. The estate benefits from a unique microclimate and diverse soils ideal for vine growing.

    Vineyard

    The vineyard sits on sandy soils, safres, and rolled pebbles typical of the southern Rhône valley. Parcels for the Côtes-du-Rhône are located near the estate with excellent sun exposure. Vines are planted at a density of 4,000 to 5,000 per hectare. The average vine age is 40 years, encouraging natural concentration in the fruit. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically and grapes are hand-harvested.

    Wine

    This Côtes-du-Rhône red from Clos du Caillou showcases the typicity of the southern Rhône. It offers a fine balance between fruit, freshness, and structure. Enjoyable in its youth, it features a generous aromatic profile. It is a pleasurable wine, both gourmand and elegant. Pairs well with Provençal cuisine or grilled meats.

    Vintage

    2021 was a challenging vintage in the Rhône, with frost episodes and slow ripening. Yields were moderate but grapes retained good freshness. Wines from this vintage are well-balanced with precise and vibrant aromatics. This Côtes-du-Rhône 2021 is a fine example, offering freshness and drinkability.

    Vinification & Aging

    Grapes are destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled concrete vats. Maceration lasts around 20 days with gentle pump-overs. Aging takes place mainly in concrete tanks for 10 months to preserve the fruit. No fining, light filtration before bottling. A natural vinification expresses the purity of the terroir.

    Grape Variety

    Grenache - Carignan - Mourvèdre
