THE COMPANY

The new Vacheron generation, from Clos du Caillou, acquired this historic estate north of ChĂ¢teauneuf-du-Pape in 2020, launching a development project that led to organic certification in 2023. The Domaine extends around an ancient 15th-century Provençal farmhouse and comprises approximately 6.5 hectares of old vineyards planted on safres, sand and round pebbles, with Grenache parcels dating back to 1921. The conversion to organic and biodynamic agriculture, in keeping with the founders’ philosophy, aims to enhance the richness of these historic terroirs. The result is wines with great identity, combining finesse, depth and aromatic complexity, fully representing the contemporary elegance of ChĂ¢teauneuf-du-Pape.

France - 

Vallée du Rhône

South

Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most renowned center of the southern Rhône, north of Avignon, and stands on hills dominated by the ruins of a papal summer residence. Grenache grapes are the backbone of the AOC, often in association with mourvèdre grapes that need warm weather to ripen and syrah along with cinsault and other local varieties. The cliché for Chateauneuf-du-Pape is galet, the rounded heat-absorbing stone found almost exclusively in some local vineyards, although in reality the soils in this area are very varied, some with high proportions of clay.
