Tasting Notes

Bright red fruit, pepper and southern herbs meet crunchy tannins and an unexpected line of freshness. It is generous without becoming heavy and can comfortably be served at room temperature or lightly chilled.

About Clos de Caveau

Clos de Caveau is a family estate in Vacqueyras with a striking natural setting, perched on a limestone outcrop surrounded by forest. The vineyards have been organic since the 1980s, and the house style leans toward purity and freshness in a region better known for heft.

Grenache and Syrah dominate, vinified in a way that keeps tannins silky and aromatics lifted. The estate has a peaceful, slightly off-the-beaten-track charm, and the wines reflect that sense of calm and clarity.

About Southern Rhône

The Southern Rhône is all about warm Mediterranean vineyards and generous fruit-driven blends. Grenache is the backbone here, supported by Syrah and Mourvèdre (often referred to as ‘GSM’) to create reds that are soft-textured with ripe berry fruit, gentle spice and a touch of herbal character. Famous names like Châteauneuf du Pape sit alongside reliable everyday appellations such as Côtes du Rhône, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. Whites and rosés also feature grapes like Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Viognier, to name a few. Winemaking is straightforward and focused on expressing ripe, healthy fruit, making the Southern Rhône a dependable source of bold, approachable styles.
