Le Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes 2001
Le Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes 2001
France / Rhône Valley
This still has years to shine! Dark and dense, with smooth tannins and vibrant fruit—notes of jellied red fruits and sultry touches of coffee and caramel make it irresistible. One of our more complicated selections (Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and old-vine Carignan from some 50+ tanks, barrels and foudre) and certainly one of the most complex and enchanting. Unfiltered.

The sleeper favorite of our selections! From an all but dismal year, this selection has blossomed into a southern Rhone with Burgundian grace, youthful color and exceptional aromas. Old-vine Grenache takes on Pinot Noir characteristics with age; if you want to blow your mind, try this wine.
