Philippe Bernède, owner of the renowned Clos La Coutale, acquired this 10-hectare Domaine du Caillou vineyard in 1993. The vineyards are located a few kilometres away from the meandering Lot River, on the lower slopes of the hills that border the Lot Valley near Puy l'Evêque. The vines grow here in a favourable south- west facing position on calcareous clay soils and on river deposits of limestone and pebbles. Pebbles are called ‘caillou’ in French, hence the name of this domaine. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
