I’ve been so eager to open the 2019 Les Cailloux, the first of a case that I bought a couple of years ago following a visit to C9DP during which I first tried the wine. This is an exemplary wine for the region, predominantly old-vine Grenache with around 30% (I think) other varieties, which is both powerful and pure, striking a lovely balance between a modern, terroir-driven style and the natural rusticity of the appellation. I enjoyed this so much I made no notes, so can’t say much more other than that I’m delighted to have a case of this and would recommend it to anyone interested in fresh, pure and ageworthy examples of Châteauneuf. — 2 months ago
It took a while to open up but this is beautiful. Very raven way. Lime, limestone, expansive and oily. Very precise ands detailed. Salinity and a long finish. This has years ahead but I’d rocking. — a month ago
bone-dry finish mellowed by the ripe-apricot character, plus hints of toast and melted butter. — 2 months ago
Great white with fruit notes and a salty, even caramel taste. — a month ago
