Le Clos du Caillou 2020 Les Quartz Côtes du Rhône JD93 WA91-93

Discover the vibrant essence of Le Clos du Caillou’s Côtes du Rhône Les Quartz 2020—a harmonious Grenache-Syrah blend that captivates both novice and connoisseur palates. Hailing from France’s storied Rhône Valley, this award-winning red wine embodies terroir-driven excellence through meticulous craftsmanship and traditional techniques.

Crafted from an expertly balanced 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah blend, this Côtes du Rhône undergoes destemming followed by aging in foudre barrels and tanks. This approach preserves Grenache’s juicy fruit character while Syrah contributes elegant spice complexity—resulting in a wine that feels as much an artful expression as it does a regional classic.

Expect a sensory journey: Aromas of ripe blueberry and blackcurrant mingle with licorice and white pepper on the nose, while the palate delivers velvety layers of plum cream and raspberry jam balanced by soft tannins. Jeb Dunnuck praised its “terrific ripeness” (93 points), while Wine Advocate highlighted its “long and elegant finish” (91-93 points). This wine strikes an ideal balance between bold flavor intensity and refined elegance.

Perfect for pairing with grilled meats or Mediterranean dishes, its versatility shines whether enjoyed at a casual dinner or elevated tasting event. At 14.5% alcohol content, it offers robust depth without heaviness—ideal for exploring Rhône Valley complexity without intimidation.
