The Chateauneuf Du Pape "Tradition" from Le Clos Du Caillou is an exemplar that embodies the quintessence of elegance and complexity of Rhône Valley wines. Produced using Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre grapes, it presents itself with an intense and vibrant red color that heralds the aromatic and gustatory richness it carries.

On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits like cherries and plums stand out, accompanied by hints of spices such as black pepper and a light touch of garrigue, typical of the region. On the palate, the wine demonstrates a full-bodied profile, well-structured with robust yet harmonious tannins. The taste palette echoes the aromatic complexity perceived on the nose, with a long and persistent finish that leaves room for reflections of wild herbs and dark chocolate.

Ideal to serve with red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses, the Chateauneuf Du Pape "Tradition" is a wine that can be enjoyed immediately but also lends itself to excellent aging, revealing new facets and depths over time.

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.
