Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf du Pape 'La Réserve' 2013
Vintage Character
Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘La Réserve’ 2013 is the flagship cuvée of this highly regarded estate, sourced from old-vine Grenache and Mourvèdre grown on sandy soils in the lieux-dits of La Guigasse and Pignan. The 2013 vintage in the Southern Rhône was cooler and later than average, with a challenging spring followed by a warm, dry September that allowed careful producers to craft wines of finesse, freshness, and aromatic precision.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, La Réserve 2013 reveals aromas of kirsch, raspberry coulis, and wild strawberry, layered with notes of plum liqueur, garrigue herbs, and exotic spice. The palate is elegant yet concentrated, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish that balances ripe fruit with mineral lift. This cuvée pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as pigeon pastilla, pork tenderloin with Provençal herbs, or a classic beef Wellington, where its depth and complexity enhance both delicate and rich flavors.
Winery Background
Le Clos du Caillou has a unique history: originally a hunting reserve, it was excluded from the official Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in the 1930s, though its terroir is among the finest in the region. The Pouizin family acquired the estate in 1956, and today it is led by Sylvie Vacheron and her family, with winemaking overseen by Bruno Gaspard and guidance from the late Philippe Cambie.
The domaine farms organically (certified since 2010) and has embraced biodynamic practices since 2007, with deep respect for the rhythms of nature. Old-vine Grenache and Mourvèdre dominate the plantings, producing wines of both power and elegance. La Réserve, from sandy soils that emphasize finesse and aromatic purity, is the estate’s most prestigious bottling, embodying its philosophy of crafting wines that are both profound and terroir-driven.
