The NBI team in France just tasted these wines a week ago at the estate and they really are outstanding! The intensity and spice of the south are here in spades, with a refreshing lift and kick that makes them such a pleasure to savor.
We are eagerly awaiting the fruits of the 2020 vintage from Le Clos du Caillou! As a teaser, here’s a selection of stupendous notes for these wines from The Wine Advocate.
Our long-time partners Le Clos du Caillou from Courthezon, southern Rhone valley, will take part in a spectacular weekend of fine wine and food at world-renowned Blackberry Farm in Tennessee.
Southern Rhône white wines — showcasing the vibrant, sultry flavors of grapes such as Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Marsanne and Roussanne, among others — are complex and flavorful, with good body, acidity and balance.
Our selections from the impressive 2014 vintage have just arrived in our temperature-controlled warehouse, and we couldn’t be more excited. In fact, if you consider yourself more a devotee of Burgundy than of Rhone wines, you should pay particular attention to this vintage and perhaps expand your horizons south. You will find much here to seduce…
Josh Raynolds of Vinous Media recently reviewed the 2014 vintage of Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds and awarded very high marks and serious praise for the wines of Le Clos du Caillou, our partners for over 20 years in the southern Rhône valley.
