Le Clos du Caillou La Réserve Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2023
A blockbuster wine, in spirit as heady and concentrated as its “bigger” brother grown on the “other” side of the estate’s “clos” or vineyard stone walls.
Sandy soils give this blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre a supple texture; blackberries, plums, wild strawberries.

Reviews
Wine Advocate – “Structured and precise, this is a concentrated yet balanced wine that will benefit from a few years in bottle and evolve gracefully over the next decade or more.” (92+ Pts)
Jeb Dunnuck – “Feminine in style, with mulled strawberry and black raspberry-like fruit as well as a beautiful sense of complexity in its spice, flowery incense, and peppery nuances. I love its overall balance.” (91-93 Pts)
