Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Domaine Pichot

Vouvray, Loire Valley

The Pichots are one of the oldest families in Vouvray. They began as restaurateurs in 1739 and bought the Coteau de la Biche vineyards in 1770 to supply the restaurant, which made them growers. Christophe Pichot makes the wine today.

Their holdings are unusually well placed, almost all at the top of the village. The largest is the Coteau de la Biche itself, in the prime Vallée de Nouys, facing south-east and ideally suited to drier styles. The family also owns most of Le Marigny, a premier coteau site just above the village opposite Clos du Bourg, eight hectares of which Christophe acquired in 1984. Clos Cartaud, Clos Saint-Mathurin and Clos Berger complete the picture. These are among the finest sites in the appellation.

Twenty-eight hectares are farmed, with grass grown between the rows to take moisture and vigour out of the vines. The estate is certified HVE3 and certified organic, and is converting to biodynamics. The still wines are fermented at low temperature in stainless steel with a small portion in used barrels, about a tenth for the sec, a fifth for the demi-sec and more for the sweet wines, then aged six months on fine lees before bottling. Around 12,000 dozen a year, across dry, demi-sec and sweet styles, with the demi-secs in particular ageing beautifully.
