Winemaker Notes

This wine has a pretty brilliant color of Cavaillon melon flesh. The nose is intensely fragranced with a panel of exotic fruit aromas, Antilles banana accompanied by notes of grapefruit. The mouth is creamy and tonic, on aromas of white flesh fruits and peach, with a long finish.

Pairs well with seafood paella and spaghetti with clams.

Blend: 55% Grenache, 15% Counoise, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre

    The 2018 Côtes Du Rhône Le Caillou Rosé is a winner, offering a Provençal style in its cherry and strawberry fruits, medium body, bright yet integrated acidity, and clean, dry finish. Drink it over the coming summer months.

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

Typically thought of as a baby Chateâuneuf-du-Pape, the term Côtes du Rhône actually doesn’t merely apply to the flatter outskirts of the major southern Rhône appellations, it also includes the fringes of well-respected northern Rhône appellations. White wines can be produced under the appellation name, but very little is actually made.

The region offers some of the best values in France and even some first-rate and age-worthy reds. Red wine varieties include most of the Chateâuneuf-du-Pape varieties like Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Counoise, as well as Carignan. White grapes grown include Grenache blanc, Roussanne and Viognier, among others.
