Domaine Pere Caboche 2023, Chateauneuf Du Pape White

Serve this on that first warm evening when you open the windows, slice ripe pears, and feel like life is finally in balance. It’s fresh, floral, and quietly luxurious.

Tasting Notes: The 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc from Domaine du Père Caboche is a beautifully layered blend of Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, and Roussanne. Pale yellow with green highlights, it opens with an expressive nose of honey, white flowers, citrus, and fruit in syrup, followed by hints of marshmallow and orange blossom. The palate is generous yet refreshing, carrying floral and citrus notes over a silky texture, with a subtle thread of minerality underneath. The finish is long, clean, and quietly complex, making it a standout for food pairings or simply sipping on its own. A wine that delivers freshness, charm, and depth in equal measure.

Varietals: 40% Clairette, 15% Grenache blanc, 30% Bourboulenc, 15% Roussanne

About the Estate: In the old days, the Boisson family were both blacksmiths and winemakers. “Caboche” is actually the local word for the nails used to shoe horses, and it became their nickname. The estate traces its viticultural roots to 1777, when Jean-Louis Boisson married into the Chambellan family and inherited parcels in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Those same plots, now home to century-old vines, remain in the family today. Passed down through generations, Domaine Père Caboche is still family-run, combining time-honored tradition with sustainable vineyard practices to produce wines of character and depth from one of the Rhône Valley’s most storied appellations.
