Le Clos du Caillou

Longtime winemaker Bruno Gaspard hit a home run with his 2016s, which show more depth and flesh than the outstanding 2015s that were made here. The Clos du Caillou wines never lack for exuberance or rich fruit and while the ‘16s have that character, in spades, they are also nicely controlled by juicy acidity and discreet but present tannins. I suspect that readers who like drinking their Châteauneufs on the young side will be thrilled by this set of ‘16s, which were some of the most expressive wines that I tasted during my trip and back here in New York as well. This estate is squarely in my top tier of the region’s producers and, relatively speaking, pricing is extremely, even ridiculously fair. Marilou Vacheron has completed her studies and has returned to the domaine to work alongside Gaspard and her mother, owner Sylvie Vacheron, by the way.
