The color is a bright, gold yellow with green highlights. The nose is intense and powerful with notes of white flowers, fruit in syrup, ending on citrus fragrances (pomelo) and light tobacco.
The mouth is both full and tight, on aromas of white peach, pear in syrup, citrus with a nice minerality in the background. Long lasting finish. This is an elegant and full-flavoured wine. - 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.
