Domaine du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Quartz 2001, crafted in France’s Southern Rhône, is a Grenache and Syrah blend from a classic vintage, sourced from the rocky les Cassanets vineyard.

The palate is full-bodied and harmonious, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity balancing the concentrated fruit. Its terroir-driven minerality, enhanced by French oak aging, reflects the domaine’s organic practices. The finish is long and refined, with notable aging potential. Perfect for pairing with roasted lamb, grilled game, or aged cheeses, this cuvée is a collector’s gem, embodying Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s iconic terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a mature Rhône wine. Its depth and complexity make it a standout from the 2001 vintage, ideal for special occasions.
