While most would say this is the French word for Quail, it is in fact meant as a contraction of cailloux(stones), in reference to the Limestone in the vineyard. Nice cinnamon on the nose, earthy, with, slight raspberry & cherry alongside a distinct strawberry component. Tannins are ever present as is some big acidity. This was my favorite wine & it just got better & better as I went back to taste later.
