Domaine Pere Caboche 2021 "Elisabeth Chambellan Vielles Vignes" Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge

A classic expression of old-vine Grenache from some of the Rhône’s most storied soils, this wine balances power and elegance in every sip. Best enjoyed with game, dark chocolate, or a table full of people you like enough to share it with.

Tasting Notes: This full-bodied, old-vine Grenache blend opens with intense aromas of candied red fruits, soft licorice, roasted notes, and a subtle kick of fresh chili. The palate is rich and balanced, offering layers of preserved fruit, sweet spice, and earthy minerality. Silky tannins support the structure, giving way to a long, smooth finish that carries both elegance and intensity. A wine of power and finesse, it shows the best of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s iconic terroir. 

Varietals: 95% Grenache, and 12 other Rhone Varieties

About the Estate: In the old times the Boisson family had two jobs at once: they were both wine-makers and black-smiths. The name of their estate comes from this second profession, because the nails used to fix the shoe under the horse's foot are called, in our regional language, "caboche". At the time the word became the nickname for the Boisson family. A long time before all this, their vineyard belonged to the Chambellan family. In 1777, the Boisson's ancestor, Jean-Louis Boisson married Elisabeth Chambellan and so became vine-growers in Chauteauneuf du Pape. Since then, many parcels have remained in the family, and the vines there are now are over 100 years old and produce outstanding wine. The oldest parcel was planted in 1906. As a tribute and thanks to Elisabeth, we are today vine-growers from father to son and daughter.
