Clos du Caillou’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Réserve 2016 is a towering wine crafted from old-vine Grenache and Mourvèdre grown on sandy soils. The nose is explosive with black fruits, incense, licorice, violet, cocoa, and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and vibrant, built on firm yet polished tannins, with a long, focused finish. A grand wine of depth, elegance, and longevity.

Why choose this wine:

As a leading estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos du Caillou delivers a masterpiece with La Réserve 2016. Celebrated as a benchmark vintage, this cuvée pairs perfectly with game, dry-aged meats, or truffle-rich dishes. A rare and age-worthy wine that reflects the soul of great southern Rhône terroirs. A must-have for collectors and connoisseurs.

A 60-40 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre from the lieux-dits of La Guigasse and Pignan, I'm happy to say the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape La Reserve has come in at the top end of my expectations for it. They produced 6,136 bottles of this elixir, which offers magical aromas of mixed berries, roses and exotic spices. It's full-bodied and weightless at the same time, boasting waves of silky, caressing, seductive tannins and an incredibly long finish. Despite its light touch, it seems assured of evolving over a couple of decades. Sheer gossamer perfection!
