Gault&Millau's review 2026

This wine is a delight, with aromas of apricot, grape, quince, lemon, and mint. These flavors carry through on the palate, accompanied by notes of zan, eucalyptus, and even raspberry, creating a dynamic and ripe profile. Decanting will help refine the texture and the lovely bitter notes on the finish, but the tasting experience unfolds like a song that stays with you.

Domaine du Père Caboche

While for many the word "caboche" means "head" or "brain," in Provençal it refers to the nails used to secure the shoes under a horse's hooves. Père Caboche was therefore a farrier, but also a winemaker. Over the centuries, only the vineyard has been preserved, under the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. Most of the reds are made from a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, but one cuvée—Elisabeth Chambellan—stands out for its blend of 13 grape varieties. Côtes-du-Rhône and Vin de Pays round out a relatively small selection. Note that a tasting and retail cellar is located in the heart of the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, across from the town hall. It is open Tuesday through Saturday.
