Description

Le Clos du Caillou - Châteauneuf du Pape La Réserve Rouge 2021"Dark chocolate and plum, with plentiful cola and clove oak. The tannins are still quite brusque, but this is still ageing. A touch pinched from the oak on the finish. If the tannins are smoothed out, this will make for an elegant wine with spicy complexity when fully mature. Grown on sandy soils of lieux dits La Guigasse and Pignan sud; matured mostly in demi muid and some clay amphora. 3,400 bottles produced." Decanter: 95 100 "A strong candidate

"A strong candidate for perfection."  - Robert Parker

Der Châteauneuf-du Pape La Réserve ist das Flaggschiff von Le Clos du Caillou. Für diesen Spitzenwein kommen ausschließlich Trauben von ca. 70-jährigen Reben zum Tragen. Er wird ausschließlich in besonders guten Jahren produziert, die Erträge sind sehr gering.

Ausbau

Für diesen Wein werden Trauben aus den Parzellen "La Guigasse" und "Pignan" verwendet, die ihm eine bemerkenswerte Finesse und Frische verleihen. Der außergewöhnliche Charakter wird unter anderem durch den hohen Anteil der Rebsorte Mourvèdre erreicht, was für einen Châteauneuf-du-Pape eher untypisch ist.

Die Trauben werden von Hand gelesen und auf dem Weinberg sowie auf dem Weingut sorgfältig nachsortiert und vollständig entrappt. Anschließend werden sie auf der Maische vergoren. Der Wein reift 14 Monate lang, 90% in Halbstückfässern und 10% in der Amphore.

Tipp des Sommeliers
Perfekt zu Lammkarrée, Boeuf Wellington oder Hase.

Das Weingut
Die Geschichte des Clos du Caillou beginnt im Jahr 1895. In dieser Zeit war das Clos vor allem als Jagdgebiet bekannt. Der Ingenieur Elie Dussaud ließ inmitten des Waldes einen unterirdischen Keller bauen, in dem noch heute die Weine der Domaine gelagert werden. Die Bedingungen sind ideal: Konstante Temperatur und gleichbleibend hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit.
Aufgrund der Nutzung zur Jagd wurde das Gebiet in den 1930er Jahren von der neuen Châteauneuf-du-Pape Appellation ausgeschlossen. Wenige Jahre später sollten Regierungsvertreter noch einmal die Zugehörigkeit des Gebiets zur Appellation prüfen. Die Prüfer wurden jedoch von bewaffneten Einwohnern „empfangen“, was zu dem weißen Punkt auf der Karte innerhalb der Appellation führte und verständlich macht, warum hier auch Côtes-du-Rhône Weine innerhalb der Châteauneuf-du-Pape Appellation produziert werden.
In den 1950er Jahren entdeckte Claude Pouizin das Potenzial in diesem Gebiet und begann mit der Abholzung und dem Weinanbau. Heute wird das Weingut von seiner jüngsten Tochter Sylvie Vacheron geleitet. Das Weingut ist seit 2010 biozertifiziert und befindet sich überwiegend in der Umstellung zur Biodynamie. Die Weine von Clos du Caillou sind überaus verführerische, duftige, samtig strukturierte und körperreiche Tropfen mit üppiger und vielschichtiger Frucht.

Husky chew proof....so far
My husky has a habit of gutting and destroying any squeaky chew toy I have gotten for her. This one so far has lasted a over a month now I must say it does make her work for a treat when hidden in the center of it. So far all the stitching and parts are attached and like new. The plastic center where you hid the treats is intact, the firmness of it does make it difficult to get the treats you put in hard to remove-so choose wisely and not put in large pieces as there is one of the first pieces still inside the center as even I can't get it out. So my girl she enjoys carrying it around and playing with it so this chew toy is a win for this husky owner

DANGER
DO NOT BUY!!! DANGER! We have had the turtle ones before and then got these. Be we bought two. there is a plug peice in the end that popped out. My dog ate it the first time and had to have emergency surgery because it was stuck in his intestines. We had it removed which cost THOUSANDS of dollars. Also was on vacation when it happened and had to come early when the sitter informed us he was ill. We felt guilty for month! had he got something in our house or yard was it our faults. We saved what they removed which looked like a cork but we dont drink wine. we have a frenchie that doesnt enjoys long walks on the beach if you know what i mean so would not have had access to eat something other places he doesnt relaly go anywhere. This was his favorite toy for a long time so when it got dirty outside, we threw away the first one and took out the second one to replace it . One day i was sitting playing fetch with him when i saw the plug peice come out. I caught it and took it out of his mouth. I IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED IT. I ran to grab the zip lock bag the vet gave us with the cork looking item covered in gunk and slime from inside his intestines, ran to the sink to rinse it off and what do you know. mystery was solved. This toy could have killed my dog !

Strong hold
Color: Multi-colored, Color: Multi-colored
Very good product. I’m definitely impressed. I have two German shepherds and this toy is definitely durable and does what it’s made to do. The suction is great. The company even gives you a clear plastic strip that you can actually put on the floor and then put the suction cup on it For better grip. I’ve had suction toys before which was absolutely horrible. This one definitely supersedes all others. The suction comes off once in a while but usually that’s because if my dogs are literally biting on the suction cup part lol. But with confidence. Great product
