Domaine noté (guide 2024) Cave coopérative de l'année (Grand Prix de la RVF cave coopérative de l'année)

About the domain :

Founded in 1929 in the southern Rhône Valley, the Cairanne cooperative is a model of success. It represents 330 hectares, farmed by fifty-five cooperative members, and produces 13,000 hectolitres of wine. In 2014, however, it sold off its production to supermarkets, with a debt of 8 million euros.
To get this old lady up and running again, the winery hired Denis Crespo as director in 2015. With his intimate knowledge of vines and wine, he has succeeded in convincing the cooperative members that only quality pays, by getting them more involved in wine production. The grapes are harvested when ripe, and the vines are now worked on a plot-by-plot basis. In the cellar, he has brought about a revolution by working the wines with light sulfite levels, including a few cuvées stamped as sulfur-free to enhance tannin quality.
His aim: to achieve better balance. Above all, he has totally rethought the distribution circuit, moving away from the big chains to the short circuit, restaurants and export markets. The wines have taken a huge leap forward in quality. We salute this collective effort, which has produced results that are relevant both for the quality of the wines and the long-term future of the winegrowers.
