Cairanne rouge 2022

AOP Cairanne 2022 is a blend of 40% of Mourvèdre, 20% of Grenache, 20% of Syrah and 20 % of Carignan. 

The grapes come from differents terroirs in Cairanne vineyard.

« Chantal, les Garrigues, les Combes, les Partides, la Ridel et les Bayes ».

This choice brings to our cuvée the complexity and harmony necessary to created a Cru des Côtes-du-Rhône Cairanne.

The age of the vines is between 40 and 70 years.

In 2022 the yield per hectar was around 25hl/ha.

The vines are located mostly above the village and in the hillsides adjacent to the village.

The vines have a southern exposure with scattered stone surface resting on underground Miocene.

The wine have been ageing during 10 months : 20 % in foudre, 30% in demi-muids and 50% in concrete tank.

Only 1.5 g/hl of Sulphate have been added before the bottling process.

This cuvee is also available without added sulphate (from December to April).

This wine presents an intense red colour, shinny with ruby tinges.

The nose and palate offer notes of red jammy fruits, dark chocolate and spicies.

Tannins are thin, soft and silky.

The mouth is full and smooth, with expressive fruity notes culminating in a final spicy liquorice taste,

balancing elegance with a little self-indulgence.

Aging potential is 5 to 7 years in a good wine cellar.
