Vin de Pays de Vaucluse: Le Petit Caboche 2010
For generations the Boisson family had been both wine makers and blacksmiths. Jean-Pierre's mother helped establish an interest in wine which subsequently led to him becoming a wine maker. The Petit Caboche is Jean-Pierre's latest brainchild and is grown from vines in the Vaucluse where three quarters of the wine produced is red. The family nickname of Caboche derives from the old Provençal word for 'horseshoe nails'.
