The Provence’s estate of the estates

A unique terroir and centuries of winemaking tradition 🪻
CLOS DE CAILLE : A FAMILY LEGACY
Clos de Caille has a deep-rooted history in viticulture, dating back to its founding in the 12th century by cistercian monks from Thoronet Abbey, who were also behind the creation of Cîteaux Abbey in Burgundy.
Nestled in the heart of Provence Verte, our vineyard reflects the elegance and richness of its terroir. Each vintage tells the story of this heritage, shaped by the Mediterranean climate and the unique geological composition of our soils.
In 1992, Jean-Pierre and Simona Mariotti were captivated by the discreet charm of this Provençal haven. With 7 hectares of land, only 2 of which were planted with vines, they set out to transform this hidden gem into fertile ground for producing exceptional wines.
Joined by their three children, the couple, passionate about Provence, embarked on an immense project of restructuring to elevate Clos de Caille into a vineyard of distinction. Since then, the estate has been in continuous development.
In 2019, we began constructing our “Chai d’Œuvre”, designed by internationally renowned architect Rudy Ricciotti. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and fully operational since 2021, the year of Clos de Caille’s first vintage, it embodies our vision of combining beauty with functionality.
In 2024, we continued to expand by acquiring the neighboring estate des Bruguières, adjacent to the historic Clos de Caille estate. This acquisition brings the total estate to 160 hectares, with 40 hectares of certified organic vineyards.

Without further ado, welcome to one of the carefully nurtured secrets of our Estate…
CINSAULT
An indigenous grape variety of Provence, Cinsault plays a key role in the region. Known for its soft, fruity character, it offers low tannins and acidity, making it the perfect complement to Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, enhancing their qualities. Its delicate red fruit aromas—strawberry, cherry, and raspberry—will bring a fresh touch to our 2024 blends.
