Le Clos du Caillou Le Caillou
A vibrant red wine bursting with black cherry and wild raspberry, leading to a peppery, fresh finish
Le Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône Rouge, Le Caillou Côtes du Rhône, France is a still, dry red wine crafted from a classic blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre. This organic wine undergoes fermentation with native yeasts in concrete tanks, followed by gentle ageing in large old foudres and stainless steel to retain brightness and texture, without oak influence. It bursts with aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, crushed herbs, liquorice, and garrigue. The palate is supple and rounded, offering vibrant fruit, soft tannins, and a peppery, fresh finish. This versatile red pairs beautifully with lamb merguez sausages, ratatouille, or chargrilled aubergine.
