The color is deep garnet red. The nose displays aromas of ripe black fruits (blueberry, blackberry, blackcurrant). A touch of spicy notes such as rosemary and Espelette pepper brings freshness. The mouth is full and smooth with fruits and spices again followed by a hint of light tobacco, violet and licorice flavors. - Winemaker's Notes
The history of the domain goes back to at least 1652, when it was owned by the Chambellan family. This family also owned the property in 1777 when a daughter from the place married Louis Boisson and in this way connected the Boisson family with the property. The Boissons also worked as blacksmiths in the town and from this got the nickname "Caboche" (derives from the old Provencal word for horseshoe nails). This name was consequently chosen for the property (Domaine Pere Caboche).Domaine du Père Caboche covers 63 hectares of Chateauneuf du Pape (17 ha.), Cotes du Rhone Villages (15 ha.), Cotes du Rhone and IGP de Vaucluse.
