Estate
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’.
Terroir
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.
Vinification
After picking the harvest is pressed immediately, in order to free the juice contained in the berry. The fermentation starts after the pressing, at low temperature (16°C). The wine produced is then bottled quickly in order to retain all its freshness and aromas.
