ABOUT THE WINES
2020 Clos du Caillou ‘Le Quartz’ Côtes du Rhône
Profile: Ripe, polished, and harmonious.
Vintage Notes: A warm, dry growing season with an early harvest produced concentrated fruit and silky tannins. 2020 wines from the southern Rhône are expressive, approachable early, yet structured enough to age.
Style: Lush red and black fruit, sweet herbs, and a touch of garrigue with fine minerality. A generous and balanced vintage with immediate charm.
2021 Clos du Caillou ‘Le Quartz’ Côtes du Rhône
Profile: Fresh, lifted, and elegant.
Vintage Notes: A cooler, later vintage with some early frost and rain challenges, but favorable conditions at harvest preserved acidity and aromatics.
Style: Red cherry, crushed rose, and vibrant mineral tension. Lighter on its feet than 2020, with beautiful precision and length—ideal for lovers of finesse over power.
2022 Clos du Caillou ‘Le Quartz’ Côtes du Rhône
Profile: Bold, sun-kissed, and structured.
Vintage Notes: Marked by extreme heat and drought, 2022 produced small berries and low yields, concentrating flavor and tannin.
Style: Dense blackberry, dried thyme, and stony grip. Still youthful, this vintage shows muscle and age-worthy potential, best with a bit of cellar time or decanting.
