Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Cailloux Blanc
Tasting Notes
Fresh and expressive, this white wine offers vibrant fruit, delicate honeyed notes, and elegant minerality, with a lively, crystalline palate and a long, airy finish. The warm 2025 vintage delivered excellent ripeness while preserving freshness and aromatic intensity. Roussanne and Grenache Blanc bring floral complexity, while Clairette adds balance and tension. Enjoy with white meats, fish with sauces, or goat cheese.
Vineyards
The Domaine’s white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is made with grapes from three plots. Roussanne grows in Les Serres, Grenache Blanc in Le Revès, and Clairette come from Bois de la Ville. Although Roussanne isn’t typical of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape white grape, it brings aromatics, finesse and elegance to the wine, whereas the Grenache Blanc and Clairette bring freshness and structure. This terroir, full of round pebbles, is characteristic of the appellation and bestows an all-important ageing ability to the wine.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested very early in the morning to avoid exposure to heat. To minimize contact with oxygen, they are pressed immediately. Fermentation takes place at a low temperature to preserve the fruit’s freshness. No malolactic fermentation. 6 months in stainless steel. No barrel.
