WINE DESCRIPTION
los du Caillou Côtes du Rhône Cuvée Unique Vielles Vignes is a remarkable expression of the Rhône Valley, rooted in a storied history that dates back to its establishment as a hunting preserve in 1895. Nestled on the northeastern edge of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the estate benefits from a diverse mix of terroirs, primarily sandy soils that impart a silky elegance and fine-grained texture to the wines. The Cuvée Unique is crafted from grapes sourced from vineyards that, while located within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape zone, were intentionally excluded from the appellation, allowing for a unique expression of this distinguished terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Each sip reveals a seamless integration of flavors, with a concentrated and richly textured profile that reflects the essence of old-vine Grenache. The finish is artfully balanced, making this wine an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality Rhône experience.
