Côtes du Rhone, Bouquet des Garrigues, Clos du Caillou 2008
This domaine is situated on the edge of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and is unique in that, in 1936, the owner (of what was then a hunting retreat) refused to allow the experts who were drawing up the boundaries of the appellation to visit his domaine. Thus it was not included in the delimited area and remains to this day an enclave within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, only qualifying for the appellation Côtes-du-Rhône Villages
The Côtes-du-Rhône Bouquet des Garrigues comes from vines grown on 30ha of pebbly soil within the Clos – Les Garrigues is the name used to describe the stony terroir. Made predominatly with Grenache and a little Syrah.
