Clos de Caveau, Vacqueyras Blanc 'Le Louis d'Or', 2023
AOP Vacqueyras, Southern Rhône
80% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette
13.5% abv / 75cl
Organic farming since 1989. 25 year-old vines from clay-limestone soils. Manual harvesting with sorting.
Grapes destemmed, lightly crushed and direct pressed. Indigenous yeast fermentation half in stainless steel and half in Stockinger demi muids.
All the soft, white stone fruits and oily texture you want from Grenache yet with a fresh, mineral streak, spice and salinity.

Clos de Caveau is owned and operated by the Bungener family. Specifically, it's currently run by Henri Bungener, who took over from his father, Gérard.
The vineyards have been organic since 1989 and Clos de Caveau have been pioneers for the Vacqueyras appellation, with a privileged position at the top of hill and just below the woods that cover the tops of the Dentelles de Montmirail. This lends incredible freshness to a region typically known for full bodied wines. Across the whites and reds there is a marked salinity, freshness and herbal quality which make them supremely versatile - we love the reds with Langres and other similar cheeses.
