This well-built red opens with a nose of black fruit, dried rose and spices. On the palate, notes of cocoa complete the picture and add roundness. The well-presented tannins are supple, giving a long finish without masking the fruit. At this price, it's a bargain not to be missed!

About the domain :
Founded in 1929, the Cairanne cooperative is a major player in the region with its two flagship brands, Camille Cayran for the traditional network and Victor Delauze for supermarkets. In 2020, it merged with Cave de Sainte Cécile-les-Vignes to become Cave de Cairanne Camille & Cécilia. It now covers more than 1,100 ha and is expanding its offer with an organic range.

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 involving them more closely 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.

Note and review by M. JEAN MICHEL B. Published on 17/04/2023
It's good, but lacks a little freshness, giving an overall sensation of heaviness, even though on closer inspection we find the characteristics of the different grape varieties. The ripe fruitiness of the Grenache, peppered with Sarah, but also the lack of maturity of the Mourvedre, whose tannins need to soften in order to bring back complexity, free of the bitterness still perceptible in too-young Mourvedre. In short, for me, 3.5 for the moment.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 25/02/2022
A full-bodied cuvée with a solid structure, yet rich and friendly, with fine, supportive tannins that should develop a patina over time. Aromatic complexity with flavors of cooked black fruits, tapenade, cocoa and spices. Powerful, warm, peppery finish. Score of 3.7. A good R. Q/P. of this fruity "vin de copains", enhanced by partial carbonic maceration, makes it an ideal companion for a royal blackfoot couscous with a hint of harissa.
