Les Cailloux Rouge has an elegant and clean nose that features
red fruits typical of Grenache (strawberry, cherry, raspberry),
combined with spice and pepper from Mourvèdre and Syrah.
The spices are more pronounced on the palate, enhanced by a
touch of oak from Syrah that is aged in the same barrels where
its fermentation takes place. In the mouth, the wine is less fruit-
driven than classic Châteauneuf du Pape, showing its savory
side through a long finish. It is approachable now and will
continue to evolve for five to eight years.
WI N EM A K E R NOT E S
Les Cailloux is French for the “round pebbles” found in the
vineyards. The area is composed of multiple plots, each with
their own distinct characteristics that give this wine
its
complexity. The gravel beds of Bois de la Ville and Les Serres
have perfect drainage, bringing a great concentration of flavor
to the grapes. Farguerol and Cansaud are known for red and
blue clay soil, which leads to the rich aromatics in the nose and
on the palate. The grapes from the Cabrieres and Revès
vineyards are grown in the chalky, limestone soil that brings an
overall structure and long finish.
The harvest lasted from early September for Syrah until the
beginning of October for Mourvèdre. The grapes were fully
destemmed, except the last week when the stems are mature
and provide extra tannins. After fermentation, the Syrah was
aged between twelve and eighteen months in one- or two-year-
old Burgundian oak. The Mourvèdre and Grenache were co-
fermented and aged in concrete vats. The blend was made once
the Syrah finished ageing, and then bottling took place three to
six months after blending. After bottling, the wine rested three
months before its release.
S E R V I N G H I N T S
This wine may be enjoyed while still young, but its full potential
will be realized after a minimum of five years cellaring, and reach
its peak at around eight years.
