Domaine Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres Blanc 2023
From Domaine Le Clos du Caillou in Courthézon, Southern Rhône, the Les Safres Blanc 2023 is a refined blend of 40% Grenache Blanc, 30% Roussanne, and 30% Clairette. Sourced from organic and biodynamic 50-year-old vines on sandy safres soils in Les Bédines and Pignan lieux-dits, it’s hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed, and aged in French oak barrels (20% one-year-old, 80% 5–7 years old), offering a pale gold hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A crisp, vibrant white with floral and fruit finesse, showcasing Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s terroir.
The nose reveals peach, candied blood orange, and citron, with hints of white flowers, graphite, and mineral. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and suave, with bright acidity, subtle oak, and flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and a clean, saline finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this white with Western dishes like grilled fish or goat cheese salad to highlight its citrus and minerality. For Chinese cuisine, try 蒸鮮蝦餃, 清蒸石斑魚, 蟹鉗, 醬爆肉丁, 椒鹽九肚魚, or 豉椒炒蜆 to complement its crisp acidity and fruit notes. Ideal for seafood dinners or summer gatherings.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve chilled at 8°C in a narrow glass to enhance aromas. Enjoy now or cellar until 2028 for added complexity. Explore our Châteauneuf-du-Pape collection for more white blend classics.
