Domaine Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Tradition 2023
From Domaine Le Clos du Caillou in Courthézon, Southern Rhône, the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Tradition 2023 is a refined blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. Sourced from organic vineyards with 50-year-old vines on sandy and galets roulés soils in the Les Bédines and Les Cassanets lieux-dits, it’s hand-harvested and aged 15 months in neutral foudres, offering a ruby hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A vibrant, elegant red with rich fruit and spicy finesse, showcasing Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s terroir.
The nose reveals raspberry, fresh fig, and blackberry, with hints of garrigue, white pepper, and flowers. On the palate, it’s medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and flavors of red fruit, smoked bacon, and a long, mineral finish.
