While the grape is used in several ''[vin de pays](/source/vin_de_pays)'' in the Languedoc and [Provence wine](/source/Provence_wine) regions, it is not officially permitted in any ''[Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée](/source/Appellation_d'Origine_Contr%C3%B4l%C3%A9e)'' (AOC) wines.<ref name="wine grapes">J.

On 15-Nov-2017 France’s National Institute of Origin and Quality ([https://www.inao.gouv.fr/Institut-national-de-l-origine-et-de-la-qualite-INAO L'Institut national de l'origine et de la qualité - INAO]) approved [https://www.inao.gouv.fr/content/download/2272/22152/version/1/file/20171117_CP_Conclusions_du_CNAOV_du_20171116.pdf experimentation] with Caladoc in the specifications of the [Côtes du Rhône AOC](/source/C%C3%B4tes_du_Rh%C3%B4ne_AOC) for the production of red and rosé wines.

==History==
Caladoc was created by grape breeder Paul Truel at the ''Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique'' in 1958. The grape as a crossing between Grenache and Malbec that Truel created with the aim of having a vine that could grow in southern France that was less prone to [coulure](/source/coulure) than either of its parents.<ref name="wine grapes"/>

==Wine regions==
While Caladoc is officially not permitted in any AOC wines, several winemakers in southern France (most notably the Languedoc and Provence) have experimented with the variety in red ''vin de pays'' blends.<ref name="wine grapes"/> Outside France there are limited plantings in [Lebanon](/source/Lebanon),<ref name="Chateau Ksara">{{Cite web |url=http://www.ksara.com.lb/our-vineyards.php |title=KSARA |access-date=2011-10-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111102135458/http://www.ksara.com.lb/our-vineyards.php |archive-date=2011-11-02 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [Bulgaria](/source/Bulgaria),<ref name="Domaine Boyar">{{cite web|url=http://www.domaineboyar.com/pic/newsp/eCannes%20Awards%20ENG.pdf |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2014-03-04 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303210552/http://www.domaineboyar.com/pic/newsp/eCannes%20Awards%20ENG.pdf |archivedate=2016-03-03 }}</ref> [Russia](/source/Russia),<ref name="Gai-Kodzor">{{Cite web |url=http://gai-kodzor.ru/wines.html |title=Наши вина - Виноградники Гай-Кодзора |access-date=2014-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130926054332/http://www.gai-kodzor.ru/wines.html |archive-date=2013-09-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [South America](/source/South_America), [Baja California](/source/Baja_California), [Portugal](/source/Portugal_(wine)),<ref name="Clarke">Oz Clarke ''Encyclopedia of Grapes'' pg 58 Harcourt Books 2001 {{ISBN|0-15-100714-4}}</ref> [Israel](/source/Israeli_wine), Turkey, and [Mexico](/source/Mexico). <ref name="Tres Raíces">{{Cite web |url=https://xn--viedotresraices-zqb.com/en/product/caladoc-reserva/|title=Caladoc Reserva - Tres Raíces |access-date=2024-11-11 }}</ref>

==Wine styles==
Caladoc grapes have high [phenolic levels](/source/phenolic_levels_(wine)) that produce wines with significant [tannins](/source/grape_tannin) levels and dark red [color](/source/color_(wine))s. In blends the grape can contribute to the [aroma](/source/aroma_(wine)) of the wine, sharing many of the same fruity and spicy aromas (such as [loganberry](/source/loganberry)<ref name="Clarke"/>) as its parent grapes.<ref name="wine grapes"/>

==Synonyms==
The only synonym of Caladoc is Kaladok (which is a Latin transliteration of the Slavic transliteration: Каладок).<ref name="VIVC"/>
