Domaine du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Quartz 2003, crafted in France’s Southern Rhône, is a Grenache and Syrah blend from a warm vintage, sourced from the rocky les Cassanets vineyard. The bouquet offers ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and fig, with notes of spice, garrigue, and earthy minerality, accented by hints of leather and licorice. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with velvety tannins and balanced acidity tempering the concentrated fruit. Its terroir-driven minerality, enhanced by French oak aging, reflects the domaine’s organic winemaking. The finish is long and robust, with notable aging potential. Perfect for pairing with roasted lamb, grilled game, or hearty stews, this cuvée is a collector’s treasure, embodying Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s iconic terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a bold Rhône wine. Its intensity and richness make it a standout from the 2003 vintage.
