The Cotes Du Rhone "Bouquet Des Garrigues" by Le Clos Du Caillou is a wine that enchants with its refined expression of the Rhone region's terroir. This vibrant and well-structured red is predominantly produced from Grenache grapes, with the addition of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, which contribute to creating a complex and inviting aromatic profile.

On the nose, the Bouquet Des Garrigues reveals intense notes of ripe berries, such as blackberries and raspberries, accompanied by nuances of aromatic herbs typical of the garrigues (Mediterranean scrubland) like thyme and rosemary, from which the wine derives its name. On the palate, the taste is rich and balanced, characterized by a lovely freshness and soft but present tannins that promise good aging potential.

Perfect for accompanying robust dishes such as meat stews or aged cheeses, the Cotes Du Rhone "Bouquet Des Garrigues" is a masterful exemplification of the elegance and power of Cotes du Rhone wines. A wine that not only tells the story of its terroir but also leaves a long, pleasant impression on the palate.

The winery

Le Clos du Caillou – Winery in Valle del Rodano (Vaucluse)

Discover the story and wines of Le Clos du Caillou.

A wine estate in the Rhône Valley (Courthézon) producing Côtes‑du‑Rhône and Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape, using organic practices with some biodynamic parcels.
Region: Valle del Rodano (Vaucluse)
Country: Francia
Founded: 1895
Grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Carignan, Counoise, Viognier, Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc
Organic certification obtained, with biodynamic practices applied to part of the vineyards. Vineyards on varied soils: sands, safres and quartz pebbles, resulting in distinct cuvées. Producing both Côtes‑du‑Rhône and Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape; the estate has historically been isolated in relation to the appellation boundary.
Winery history
The estate originated from an old holding converted into vineyards; the property is documented as far back as 1895. During the 20th century ownership passed to the Pouizin family, who began converting it to vineyards in the 1950s; commercial activity developed from the 1970s and exports began in the 1980s. In the 1990s the Vacheron family relaunched production; the estate has been certified organic since 2010. In 2020 Clos du Caillou acquired the Domaine de Panisse, expanding its Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape parcels.
Production philosophy
The approach is focused on respect for the soil: mechanical work in the vineyard without herbicides, limited use of sulfur and copper, hand harvesting and grape selection. The winery vinifies by variety, with controlled macerations and maturation in foudre and botti; part of the vineyards are managed with biodynamic practices aimed at restoring soil fertility.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in Courthézon in the Southern Rhône Valley. Soils include sands, safres and quartz pebbles. Some parcels lie on sandy lieux-dits and on pebble terraces typical of Côtes-du-Rhône/Châteauneuf-du-Pape, resulting in finer or more structured cuvées depending on the soil.
Awards and recognitions
Recognition from the specialist press and positive mentions from critics such as Olivier Poussier.
