The art of savoring a Clos de Caille like a sommelier

THE ART OF TASTING A CLOS DE CAILLE LIKE A MASTER SOMMELIER

Just as a fine piece of high jewelry reveals its brilliance in the light, a great wine unveils its most precious secrets to those who know how to observe, listen, and understand it.

THE EYE – FIRST IMPRESSION

To appreciate a wine’s color, tilt your glass slightly against a light background to observe its hue and clarity. A pale rosé with silvery reflections suggests freshness and delicacy, a crystalline white with golden highlights signals liveliness and structure, while a deep ruby or purple red hints at concentration and maturity.

Also take note of the brilliance, a sign of careful blending and winemaking, as well as the density, which can reveal the body of the wine.

Discover Clos de Caille Rosé

AOP Côtes de Provence | AB | Also available in magnum et jéroboam

Pale rosé with pearly reflections, revealing a delicate, refined nose where notes of white fruits and citrus intertwine. On the palate, the attack is silky: roundness and harmony combine in a perfectly balanced texture. The expressive finish marries the fruit’s ripeness with aromatic freshness. Ideal with langoustine carpaccio or pasta alla Norma.

THE NOSE – THE SOUL OF THE WINE

To smell a wine like a sommelier, hold the glass by the stem and observe from a distance to capture its most volatile aromas. Without swirling, bring the glass closer for the first impression, then gently swirl it to aerate the wine and release more intense aromas. Inhale in small sips and identify the main aromatic families – fruity, floral, spicy, or mineral – before discerning the finer nuances. Like a perfume, the wine evolves in the glass, gradually revealing its full complexity.

Discover Clos de Caille Blanc

AOP Côtes de Provence | AB

White wine, clear and radiant, dressed in a golden hue with luminous reflections. The nose reveals a bouquet of citrus fruits, accented with delicate floral notes. On the palate, a crystalline freshness extends the aromatic expression with grace, unveiling a perfect balance between intensity and elegance. The finish, long and pure, marks a complete and refined wine of great harmony.
Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with roasted turbot with basil butter or Bresse chicken with morel sauce.

THE PALATE – THE TASTING SIGNATURE

On the palate, start by assessing the attack — the first sensation that reveals the wine’s liveliness or roundness. Let it unfold to perceive its texture and balance between acidity, sweetness, bitterness, and tannins. Then, explore its aromatic complexity: fruits, flowers, spices, and woody notes… Finally, gauge the length, meaning the persistence of flavors after swallowing: the longer it lingers, the more the wine expresses its finesse and quality.

Discover Clos de Caille Rouge

AOP Côtes de Provence

Deep, intense color, revealing a complex nose where rare spices intertwine with ripe dark fruits. The subtle ageing adds hints of precious wood. On the palate, the wine is complete, with a rich, harmonious texture, fine ripe tannins, and a long, spicy finish.
Perfect with roasted rack of lamb with Provençal herbs, a Rossini beef fillet, or a matured farmhouse Saint-Nectaire.

 

  « At our Estate, each wine is born from a balance between precise craftsmanship and respect for life. Our grapes, harvested at perfect ripeness, reflect the noble minerality of our ancient limestone soils and the preserved freshness of our clay. Behind every vintage lies the desire to reveal a pure, harmonious aromatic profile, capable of moving as much as impressing with its accuracy. »

What to Pair with… Clos de Caille Rosé 2024

GOOD READING

Discover the opinion of head sommelier Denis Garret and his tasting tips for the summer season. Within the range, “this rosé already plays in the big leagues.”
“It’s a complex rosé, honest on the nose, with a hint of salinity right from the start. You’ll also find notes of citrus and white fruits. This is a rosé made for gastronomy and pleasure. It can be served with grilled red mullet, or pan-seared veal sweetbreads with fresh, creamy morels in season. Why not sea urchins as well!”
