Tasting Note

A bright and aromatic white from the southern Rhône, presenting a luminous pale straw colour. The nose bursts with lively aromas of white peach, lemon blossom, wild thyme, and Mediterranean herbs, alongside hints of ripe pear, citrus zest, and a subtle mineral freshness. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced with a lively acidity that carries the vibrant fruit and floral notes. The finish is crisp and clean, with a delicate herbal lift reminiscent of the garrigue—the scrubland herbs that give the wine its name. A charming, expressive Rhône white full of energy and finesse.

This wine is perfect for pairing with light Mediterranean dishes or enjoying on its own.

About the Winery

Le Clos du Caillou

Le Clos du Caillou, the French wine brand, was established in 1895 by Elie Dussaud. When the old cellar was created this early, it led to a lot of political turmoil. As a result, Le Clos du Caillou was excluded from the Appellation of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Until 1955, this land was nothing but a hunting reserve. It was only in this year that the woods were cleared because Paul Poulzin realised the vine-value of the land beneath the woods.
