          A fruity, mellow and juicy red with strawberries, crushed raspberries and baking spices on the nose. Full-bodied with velvety tannins, juicy berries and a kick of spice on the finish. Drink or hold.

          History        
        Jean-Pierre Boisson, former long-serving mayor of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, runs Domaine Père Caboche with his children Emily & Nicolas.  Members of the Boisson family have been both winemakers and blacksmiths for generations. The family nickname of Caboche derives from the old Provencal word for ‘horseshoe nails’.      
          
        
          Tasting notes        
        The color is a beautiful ruby shine. The nose expresses a character asserted, chocolate and smoked on a background of red and black fruits light peppery spice. The notes of ginger and menthol offer up a beautiful freshness. On the palate, this wine is expressive, focused on freshness and minerality. It has a beautiful length on fruit and spices.      
          
        
          Terroir        
        The 4 main terroirs of the appellation are represented in this wine (Limestone, pebbles, sandstone/clays, sand) the most important being the famous plateau of the Crau with its pebbles which are ideal for Grenache.      
          
        
          Vinification        
        Harvesting is carried out by hand picking each plot separately. The grapes are harvested at full maturity and carefully sorted, then slightly destemmed and crushed. Then fermentation takes place under strict temperature control. After the final blend is determined, the wine is aged in oak and stainless-steel tanks for 12 months.
