Sylvie Vacheron's Clos du Caillou, certified organic since 2010 with significant biodynamic cultivation, produces this thoughtfully balanced Southern Rhône white from 65% Clairette, 20% Grenache Blanc, and 15% Viognier. Hand-picked grapes are whole-cluster pressed, cold-settled overnight, then cool-fermented in stainless steel and aged on fine lees for four months. The extended lees contact adds textural depth while maintaining mineral purity. The 2021 Southern Rhône vintage was challenging—April frosts dramatically cut yields and a cool summer delayed ripening—but white wines emerged consistently excellent with crisp, fresh character at unusually low alcohol. La Réserve shows pale gold with green reflections, elegant pink grapefruit and butter on the nose, and a smooth, savory palate perfect with bouillabaisse or crab. A racy, bright wine with floral garrigue and lemon blossom at its core.

More about Clos du Caillou

We recently tasted stellar new releases from Le Clos du Caillou in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Things started brightly with their insanely fresh, crisp, detailed white wines and a crunchy Côtes du Rhone rouge. But when the Châteauneuf Tradition hit my glass, I was immediately transfixed. This is EXACTLY the type of fresh, energetic, spicy red that I love. My tasting note was direct and to the point: “Gorgeous. Baby Rayas”

Those of you already familiar with this estate are probably chuckling because, unbeknownst to me, Le Clos du Caillou is right down the road from the iconic Château Rayas, and shares the same sandy soils (with a touch of quartz and galets as well) that infuse the wines with such finesse and delicacy.

The rest of the tasting was a master class in precision and elegance — each wine more delicious than the next. The reds are incredibly pure with high-toned, spicy, black and red fruits, and lively acidity. The white wines are the definition of freshness, verve and mineral crunch. My notes for Le Caillou blanc just reads "dynamite."

These wines will make lovers of old-school Châteauneuf swoon. If you think all Châteauneuf is oversaturated and inky, taste these and be converted. And if you’re a lover of Château Rayas and find the quadruple digit prices a bit hard to swallow, do yourself a favor and taste these wines. They are the real deal.
