Any winery with a proven ability to knock-out perfect 100 Point wines is a great place to look when searching for incredible values… Often times the other wines produced by the Estate are crafted by the same winemaking team and with the same standards of excellence that make them a top producer. Le Clos du Caillou is a paragon producer of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines and they make hundred-pointers look easy. Their Old Vine Cotes-du-Rhone is a stunning value and comes from a parcel that’s completely walled by renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards. It’s predominantly old-vine Grenache, accentuated with Syrah and Carignan and the 2016 leaps from the glass with a palate energizing perfume of sweet raspberries, dried cherry, lavender and a touch of spices… At under thirty per bottle, it’s one of the highest quality, complex gems out there…
It’s created from vines averaging over 45 years old, which are grown in quartz river stones, clay and sand. If you love classic Cotes du Rhone wines, or would like to experience a wonderful expression from this renowned region, this is one of the best, at a fantastic price. The 2016 is bright, loaded with minerals and offers vivid red fruits, toasted spices, and wild rose. Robert Parker’s Review below is on their lower tier Cotes du Rhone, not the VV (old vines) which is even better…

From Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate, “The estate’s entry-level wine, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Le Caillou is a stunning value, offering gluggable cherry and blueberry fruit, ample weight and a velvety texture. This Grenache-dominated blend should drink well for the next 5 years.” 90 Points
