Southern Rhône
Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Les Safres" '17
75% Grenache 25% Syrah. A challenging vintage with low yields and an early harvest produced a lovely wine with complexity and superb freshness. This cuvée is named “Les Safres” after the compact sand that gives the wine fineness and a supple quality. Harvest is done by hand and vilification in concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts. Age is done in foudres and demi-muids for 14 months. Lots of brambly fruit on the nose and palate, with a cardamom and anise like finish.
