Vaucluse is an area in Southeastern France, located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It is named after the famous spring, the Fontaine de Vaucluse; the name Vaucluse itself derives from the Latin Vallis Clausa (Closed Valley) as the valley ends in a cliff face from which emanates a spring whose origin is so far in and so deep that it remains to be defined.

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’.

This wine has a nice, gently pink color with light grey-bluish highlights. On the nose it is refreshing with notes of small berries and candy aroma. The mouth is creamy and on the palate is the taste of vineyard peach and grenadine with a velvety finish.

Underground there are several different soil types which add complexity to the final wine. The clay-calcareous soil helps the vines with their water retaining properties, which has become more and more important with climatic changes. Thus, the wines appear to be softer in the mouth. Sand is also present in proportions changing from one soil to another, bringing notes of elegance and finesse.

After picking the harvest the grapes are pressed immediately. The fermentation starts after the pressing, at low temperature (16 Celsius). The wine produced will then be bottled as early as possible in order to retain all its freshness and aromas.
