The nose is expressive, marked by aromas of red and black fruits (strawberry, morello cherry, blackcurrant), accompanied by a more floral and slightly spicy touch. On the palate, the wine combines freshness and juicy taste. The fruit expresses itself vividly, supported by notes of sweet spices, a hint of licorice and thyme, reminiscent of the garrigue. The finish is supple and pleasant, with a nice length. This cuvée, a historic wine of the estate, presents a balanced and elegant ensemble. It is a charming wine, accessible now, but which will also evolve well with time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eManual harvest with sorting in the vineyard then in the cellar. 80% of the grapes are destemmed and vinified in concrete vats with pumping over and rack and return (27 days) to promote gentle tannin extraction and preserve the purity of the fruit. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures to respect the aromatic integrity of the grapes. The remaining 20% is vinified using carbonic maceration, a technique that adds a fresher, fruitier dimension.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"OLE_LINK1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca name=\"OLE_LINK2\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eCountry: France \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eRegion: Cotes du Rhone \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eVintage: 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eGrape Variety: Grenache, Syrah\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eABV: 14.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eSize: 750ml \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eProducer:\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e Le Clos du Caillou \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crushed \u0026 Cured","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55449339625848,"sku":null,"price":24.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/6962\/3071\/files\/best-red-wine-france-rhone_08b83a94-e7be-4a2b-b591-4d38e9f91354.jpg?v=1770736065","url":"https:\/\/crushedandcured.co.uk\/products\/le-clos-du-caillou-cotes-du-rhone-rouge-bouquet-des-garrigues-cotes-du-rhone-southern-rhone-france-2023","provider":"Crushed \u0026 Cured","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
