"There is no wood in this Grenache-dominated cuvée (60%), but the fruit expresses itself unadorned, with aromas of morello cherry and strawberry compote, enhanced by a hint of tonka bean. Supple and velvety, supported by finely extracted round tannins, the palate reveals a delicious fruitiness that lingers in a fresh finish with distinctive hints of licorice." (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

About wine:
No wood in this Grenache-dominated cuvée (60%), but fruit that expresses itself unadorned, with aromas of morello cherry and stewed strawberry, enhanced by a hint of tonka bean. Supple and velvety, supported by finely extracted, rounded tannins, the palate reveals a delicious fruitiness that lingers in a fresh finish with distinctive hints of licorice. A classic that has it all.

About wine:
Toasted nose, black fruits. Quite wild with wild berries, sage, and chewy, very firm tannins. Good acidity, but the thick tannins and toasted bread flavor need to integrate.

Note and opinion by Mr. VINCENT C. Published on 05/08/2025
2020 was a big candy full of fruit... 2021 seemed blander to me, worth trying again... and the bottle, decanted for a good hour, went down well in the evening. April 2025.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 06/29/2024
A rather simple Cairanne, without any fuss, but incredibly effective with its very Mediterranean accents. A profusion of freshly picked wild berries slides harmoniously across the palate, offering more crunch than woodiness. A generous, silky texture, supported by wonderfully ripe and delicious tannins. Fine notes of licorice and cocoa enhance the Full-bodied, generous and silky, supported by wonderfully ripe and delicious tannins. Subtle notes of licorice and cocoa reinforce the opulence and persistence of the finish. This well-structured and reasonably priced Cairanne was a good accompaniment to confit pork shanks and baked potatoes. Rating = 4.2.
