Le Clos' wine nature trail is open to the public and takes you on a tour of the vineyard with information posts dotted throughout the walk. The 1.4km trail will allow you to discover where our different wines originate and the secrets behind them, whilst taking in the breathtaking views of the Comtat Venaissin plain.

You will learn about our wines, their creation, their varietals, as well as information on the wildlife and flora of the vineyard.
our Terroir
Each of our terroirs produces a different wine...
"In the plain the strata are horizontal, at Clos de Caveau they are vertical..."

organic
Nowadays, being organic is a philosophy, a way of living, and a commitment…
However, before 1950, all wines, all vegetables and all fruits were organic.
Being organic is also the excitement in discovering that small eagles (circaete jean le blanc) have chosen Le Clos de Caveau valley as their home, where they are often seen hunting. (The pesticides go up the food chain: the eagles would eat poisoned insects or rodents.

Our varietals
Of all varietals, grenache is the one that best reflects the terroir where it is planted.
On our exceptional terroir, dating from the Oligocène epoch, which is particularly rich in limestone and in minerals, the grenache produces wonders.
