Henri and Janet are the second generation of the Bungener family to exploit Clos de Caveau, a charming estate made up of a single 20-ha plot situated just south of the Gigondas appellation, well outside the village of Vacqueyras. The Domaine’s isolation makes it perfect for organic viticulture and it obtained its certification in 1993. The varietals here are Grenache (70%), Syrah (20%), Cinsault and Mourvedre.
“Light red colour. Assertive, pungent aromas of wild strawberry, dried cherry, raspberry jam and milk chocolate. Sweet, expansive and mouth-filling, the lush red berry fruit building in intensity and coating the entire palate. Impressively concentrated, deep and seamless through the long, sexy finish.” Stephen Tanzer 90-92pts
