Under talented wine maker Bruno Gaspard and the current owners, the Vacheron family, Clos du Caillou is producing some of the finest wines in the whole of the Rhône valley.

Le Clos du Caillou benefits from an exceptional terroir which varies from sandy soils to the famous `galets roulés`. The estate has been practicing biodynamic viticulture since 2003 and was certified organic in 2010. Remarkably the original property was excluded from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in the 1930s as the owners refused to allow their land to be surveyed. As a result, the vines inside the Clos were classified as Côtes-du-Rhône Villages though the terroir is identical to the adjacent vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The wines continue to impress year on year as they continue to make exceptionally well-balanced wines with their signature, velvety tannins.
Jancis Robinson has scored this producer highly with their Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres 2019 and Châteauneuf-du-Pape
La Reserve 2019 both receiving 18.5+ points.
