Wine requires a touch of irrationality. This requirement governs you and leads you to strive for excellence, without interruption, to travel between the dream and the pleasure of approaching it.
It is this vision, both lyrical and rigorous, that drives the Mariotti family at Clos de Caille.
Founded in the 12th century by Cistercian monks from Thoronet Abbey — who also built Cîteaux Abbey in Burgundy — Clos de Caille carries on the legacy of a land where vines have been cultivated for centuries. It was in 1992 that Jean-Pierre and Simona Mariotti fell under the spell of this Provençal treasure, on the wise advice of Clément Bruno — the “Truffle Emperor” and iconic chef of the restaurant. At Bruno's in Lorgues. Like so many others before them, seduced by these lands steeped in history, where forests and hills intertwine beneath rocky ridges, they feel the call to plant and cultivate their own vines.
At that time, the estate covered only 7 hectares, of which only 2 hectares were vineyards. Convinced of the potential of the terroir, they undertook a titanic effort to restructure and expand the vineyard, driven by the certainty that the quality of the vines would be the cornerstone of their ambition.
In 2019, Jean-Pierre and Simona, accompanied by their three children — Jean-Marie, Mathieu and Clarisse — decided to expand the estate by adding a winery designed by internationally renowned architect Rudy Ricciotti. Equipped with the best equipment, this « Masterpiece » devient opérationnel depuis 2021.
Over the years, the vineyard expanded, but the family chose to wait until Clos de Caille had its own cellar before finally producing its own wines.
Today, Mathieu Mariotti manages the vineyard with meticulous care and humility. The vineyard no longer dedicates its entire production to renowned brands, thereby asserting its identity.
Under his passionate and demanding leadership, Clos de Caille will release its very first vintage in 2021, in three colours, symbolising a new era focused on excellence.
The Clos de Caille wine estate is now flourishing under the expert guidance of Matthieu Cosse, who brings precision winemaking and a new sparkle to our wines. The ageing process has gained in finesse, accuracy and depth, producing outstanding wines, crafted with the patience and high standards required by the profession.
An adventure rooted in the land and passed down through blood ties, told through the eyes of those who grew up to the rhythm of the seasons and the rows of vines.
«My brother Jean-Marie was five years old, my sister Clarisse barely one, and I was three when we first set foot on the Clos de Caille estate. As we grew up, whenever we misbehaved, our father would send us to work in the vineyards as punishment. Today, this passion for the Clos has become a lifelong commitment, a deep connection that we wish to pass on to future generations.» — Mathieu Mariotti
Born from the visionary intuition of Jean-Pierre and Simona Mariotti in 1992, Clos de Caille is now driven by a family passion. It has established itself as a place of excellence where respect for tradition is combined with a spirit of innovation. A terroir predestined for great wines, we have conducted detailed soil studies to accurately map the soils and reveal the full potential of this topography.
In a world where vineyards inherit centuries-old traditions, humility is essential: we embrace this heritage to create distinguished and refined wines that express the eloquence of their terroir with character.
The Clos de Caille winemaking approach is embodied in a vineyard that has been certified organic since the 2024 vintage. Our « Masterpiece », recognised as one of the most beautiful in Provence, allows us to work exclusively with single vineyard vinification, shaping the personality of our white, red and rosé wines in perfect harmony with the microclimate that blesses this exceptional setting and its soils, which are conducive to the expression of great wines.
For nearly thirty years, we have been dedicated to restructuring our vineyard, with the constant ambition of striving for excellence in winemaking.
Located between Entrecasteaux and Saint-Antonin-du-Var, the Clos de Caille estate covers 160 hectares in a single block, including 40 hectares of vineyards, in the heart of Provence Verte. Its gently sloping hillsides shape a vineyard planted on hillsides, promoting sunshine, air circulation and natural drainage. In this setting suspended between heaven and earth, the estate cultivates the rare elegance of the great wines of Provence.
Between the crystalline zone of the Maures and the Jurassic limestone, the Clos de Caille rests on ancient geology: limestone dating back 200 to 250 million years, siliceous loam-limestone soils, and dolomitic terraces on the hillsides. Nestled at an altitude of 200 metres, it enjoys a temperate climate marked by significant temperature variations between day and night, a source of freshness and aromatic purity. Our geological studies have confirmed the richness and uniqueness of this terroir.
To preserve the soul of the vineyard, the Mariotti family made the demanding choice of mass selection, carried out with the visionary nurseryman Lilian Bérillon. With deliberately limited yields, each vine fully expresses the genetic diversity of the plant, giving rise to outstanding wines that pay homage to their terroir.
«Our soils produce very different balances depending on altitude and exposure. Winemaking is simply an extension of this interpretation of the terroir: extracting with precision, preserving natural balances and allowing each cuvée to express the minerality, tension or texture that the vines have developed over the course of the year. It is this rigorous interpretation that gives the wines their uniqueness and integrity.» — Matthieu Cosse
At Clos de Caille, we are driven by the conviction that the quality of the vine is the cornerstone of great wines. Conducted using mass selection and committed to sustainable viticulture, our vineyard preserves the genetic diversity and natural expression of the grape varieties. Our winegrowers ensure the vitality of the soil through observation of cycles, reasoned prevention, targeted interventions and organic fertilisation.
En blanc et rosé, les pressurages en grappes entières, les fermentations maîtrisées et les élevages sur lies fines garantissent pureté, tension et précision. Nos cuvées sont élaborées en pressurage direct à froid, à partir de raisins entiers, des techniques qui assurent une grande limpidité de robe, une finesse tannique remarquable et une expression aromatique nette.
En rouge, les extractions douces et les élevages en foudres, œufs béton ou demi-muids préservent l’intégrité du fruit et révèlent toute la profondeur du cépage.
From the vineyard to the cellar, this demanding work gives rise to wines deeply rooted in their origins, embodying a modern and bold vision: the signature of Clos de Caille.
With its terraced vineyards, the Clos de Caille is a veritable mosaic of terroirs, each nuance of which we strive to reveal. Each plot is harvested and vinified separately in order to fully express its potential before the final blends are made.
We cultivate our vines using traditional methods, guided by patience, precision and respect for living organisms. Day after day, our master winemakers ensure the balance of the plots. This intimate understanding of the vine allows each grape variety to express the uniqueness of our terroir. Whether white, red or rosé, each vintage is born from this alchemy between a living terroir and demanding expertise.
Clos de Caille undertakes its work using a «Grands Crus» approach, practising meticulous plot selection and harvesting at optimal maturity for each plot.
Our containers are carefully selected and adapted to the personality of each grape variety, not to mark the wine, but to give it extra soul, that of the finest vintages.
Aware that nature offers us the most beautiful of works, we put our expertise at the service of its splendour.
Since the 2021 vintage, Clos de Caille has been reborn under the impetus of the Mariotti family, whose daily work is dedicated to revealing the generosity and uniqueness of this terroir. From this first vintage onwards, the estate has opted for mass selection, initiated alongside pioneering nurseryman Lilian Bérillon. This approach preserves the genetic diversity of the grape varieties and selects the plants best suited to our terroir and to climate change.
Driven by sustainable viticulture that respects the plant, we are convinced that a great wine is born first and foremost in the vineyard; vinification is merely its revelation. Investing in genetic diversity means ensuring the future of our vines.
In this landscape suspended between heaven and earth, the Clos de Caille discreetly cultivates the rare elegance of fine wines of Provence.
On our 40 hectares of vineyards certified organic, we preserve a living ecosystem that allows the terroir to express its full authenticity. Our quest for perfection combines technical expertise and winemaking sensitivity to reveal the finesse and depth of our plots, where wine becomes mastery and emotion.
