Le Clos du Caillou Cotes du Rhone 'Bouquet de Garrigues' 2020
Very good Cotes du Rhone within a medium bodied frame. Gentle across the palate with great definition of black berry and garrigue flavours. My sort of Rhone red with so much more refinement than most. - Ches Cook, FWC.
Biodynamic. 75 % Grenache Noir, 15 % Syrah, 10 % Mourvèdre, Carignan and Counoise from 50 year-old vines. ‘Still maturing in a mix of foudres and wooden cuves at the time of my visit, the 2020 Cotes du Rhone Le Bouquet des Garrigues—a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and the rest Cinsault, Counoise and Mourvèdre—boasts vibrant aromas of lavender and ripe red raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, smooth, silky and complex, it's a beauty that should retail for less than $30. Drink 2022-2030.’ (90-93) points, Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate, May 2022.
