Terroir & Winemaking
- The Exceptional Terroir of Clos du Caillou: Located in Courthézon adjacent to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape boundary, "Le Caillou" Blanc benefits from sandy limestone and clay soils mixed with galets roulés (rounded stones). The sandy soil profile endows the white Rhône varieties—predominantly Viognier, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette—with remarkable floral elegance and lifted freshness.
- Certified Organic Excellence: Farmed organically and biodynamically under the direction of Marilou Vacheron and the Pouizin family. Hand-harvested and fermented cool in stainless steel and temperature-controlled concrete tanks to capture bright, aromatically pure white stone fruit without heavy oak intervention.
Highlights
- 100% organically farmed white Southern Rhône blend from estate vineyards near Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
- A radiant 2025 release bursting with white peach, fresh apricot, jasmine blossom, and limestone minerality.
- Crafted by Domaine Le Clos du Caillou, offering immediate enjoyment and 3 to 5+ years of graceful evolution.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Pale straw-gold with vibrant greenish reflections.
- Nose: Fragrant, expressive, and inviting. It opens with aromas of ripe white peach, yellow nectarine, and fresh apricot, layered with jasmine flowers, lemon zest, and subtle garrigue herbs.
- Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and deliciously smooth. The entry brings a juicy wave of orchard fruit sap that glides across a satiny mid-palate, supported by fresh natural acidity and a clean, mineral-tinged finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve chilled at 10–12°C to highlight its aromatic floral perfume and juicy stone fruit freshness.
- Decanting: No decanting required; open and serve directly in generous white wine glasses. Best enjoyed through 2030+.
- Western Pairing: Grilled sea bass with herbs, pan-seared pork loin, roasted chicken, or goat cheese crostini.
- Asian Pairing: Steamed grouper with ginger and scallions, Thai green curry, butter-braised prawns, or Cantonese dim sum.
