Domaine Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Réserve 2022
From Domaine Le Clos du Caillou in Courthézon, Southern Rhône, the Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Réserve 2022 is a refined blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre. Sourced from organic vineyards with 70-year-old vines on sandy safres soils in the La Guigasse and Pignan lieux-dits, it’s hand-harvested and aged 18 months in demi-muids and amphorae, offering a ruby hue with vibrant complexity.
