Description

Le Clos du Caillou - Châteauneuf du Pape La Réserve Rouge 2021"Dark chocolate and plum, with plentiful cola and clove oak. The tannins are still quite brusque, but this is still ageing. A touch pinched from the oak on the finish. If the tannins are smoothed out, this will make for an elegant wine with spicy complexity when fully mature. Grown on sandy soils of lieux dits La Guigasse and Pignan sud; matured mostly in demi muid and some clay amphora. 3,400 bottles produced." Decanter: 95 100 "A strong candidate

"A strong candidate for perfection."  - Robert Parker

Der Châteauneuf-du Pape La Réserve ist das Flaggschiff von Le Clos du Caillou. Für diesen Spitzenwein kommen ausschließlich Trauben von ca. 70-jährigen Reben zum Tragen. Er wird ausschließlich in besonders guten Jahren produziert, die Erträge sind sehr gering.

Ausbau

Für diesen Wein werden Trauben aus den Parzellen "La Guigasse" und "Pignan" verwendet, die ihm eine bemerkenswerte Finesse und Frische verleihen. Der außergewöhnliche Charakter wird unter anderem durch den hohen Anteil der Rebsorte Mourvèdre erreicht, was für einen Châteauneuf-du-Pape eher untypisch ist.

Die Trauben werden von Hand gelesen und auf dem Weinberg sowie auf dem Weingut sorgfältig nachsortiert und vollständig entrappt. Anschließend werden sie auf der Maische vergoren. Der Wein reift 14 Monate lang, 90% in Halbstückfässern und 10% in der Amphore.

Tipp des Sommeliers
Perfekt zu Lammkarrée, Boeuf Wellington oder Hase.

Das Weingut
Die Geschichte des Clos du Caillou beginnt im Jahr 1895. In dieser Zeit war das Clos vor allem als Jagdgebiet bekannt. Der Ingenieur Elie Dussaud ließ inmitten des Waldes einen unterirdischen Keller bauen, in dem noch heute die Weine der Domaine gelagert werden. Die Bedingungen sind ideal: Konstante Temperatur und gleichbleibend hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit.
Aufgrund der Nutzung zur Jagd wurde das Gebiet in den 1930er Jahren von der neuen Châteauneuf-du-Pape Appellation ausgeschlossen. Wenige Jahre später sollten Regierungsvertreter noch einmal die Zugehörigkeit des Gebiets zur Appellation prüfen. Die Prüfer wurden jedoch von bewaffneten Einwohnern „empfangen“, was zu dem weißen Punkt auf der Karte innerhalb der Appellation führte und verständlich macht, warum hier auch Côtes-du-Rhône Weine innerhalb der Châteauneuf-du-Pape Appellation produziert werden.
In den 1950er Jahren entdeckte Claude Pouizin das Potenzial in diesem Gebiet und begann mit der Abholzung und dem Weinanbau. Heute wird das Weingut von seiner jüngsten Tochter Sylvie Vacheron geleitet. Das Weingut ist seit 2010 biozertifiziert und befindet sich überwiegend in der Umstellung zur Biodynamie. Die Weine von Clos du Caillou sind überaus verführerische, duftige, samtig strukturierte und körperreiche Tropfen mit üppiger und vielschichtiger Frucht.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it. After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is. I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.

Super easy to use and takes the guess-work out of getting even pressure on the grounds
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black, Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I have been using a hand tamper for many years and have a good idea of the pressure I am applying to the grounds in the portafilter. I honestly considered spring tampers to be a bit silly. But this tamper really does take the guess-work out of pressing the coffee grounds. The shroud helps guide the press so that pressure is applied even and flat across the surface. With the manual tamper, there will be some play when pressing, or some unevenness in pressure. This is especially true when cranking out many espressos during a breakfast party with friends. Having the spring tamper makes quick work of turning out a lot of coffees with consistency. There are no instructions for taking this tamper apart to clean inside, and you may not really need to do that very often. After each use, just pull back the shroud (the black piece that moves up and down) and wipe off the tamper (the shiny steel part). This will help prevent grounds from working their way inside. If you do want to take it apart, it’s easy. Pull back the shroud and unscrew the tamper. It will come apart into three pieces. Wipe the pieces off and reassemble. Super quick and easy. This tamper is very heavy. My scale shows 656 g (about a pound and a half). It fits the portafilter exactly, with no slop. Just place on top of grounds and press!. Don’t even worry about pressure, just push down all the way. Overall I had fun using this tamper versus my manual one. And since I make myself a cappuccino very early in the morning, I don’t have to be very awake to get a good pack on the grounds and get my coffee fast!

It is heavy
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
Item was as described and shipped promptly. It is heavy and works well with my portafilter. I haven't had it long enough to really evaluate how helpful it is.
