Winemaker Notes

A serious, opulent and complex example of cru Cairanne. This is rich, intense and drenched in dark red fruits. With Morello cherry and a touch of cinnamon spice on the nose, soft dark plummy fruit, licorice, chocolate, a hint of black tea on the palate, this wine is full flavored and smooth with supple tannins. A rich, savoury satisfying mouthful that shows greater elegance with air.

Rich, complex and delicious with dishes which take time to prepare: a slow cooked duck cassoulet, or warming beef casserole – try a Daube Niçoise, the southern French variation of the traditional beef daube which includes tomato, orange zest and black olives. Hearty vegetable dishes can work too – grilled eggplant with a herby tomato Provençal sauce or a tofu burger with all the trimmings.

Professional Ratings

91James Suckling
A fruity and well-balanced cairanne with cherries, wild berries, warm herbs and baking spices. Medium body with crunchy berries. Fruity and vivid finish with excellent length. Grenache noir, syrah, mourvedre and carignan. Drink or hold.
90Wine Spectator
Offers cherry reduction and earthy dimension, courtesy of tobacco and forest floor gilded in oak polish. Delivers nice weight, richness and length, with a jolt of orange peel acidity and a menthol accent. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan Noir. Drink now through 2027.
90Jeb Dunnuck
Ripe raspberries, spicy wood, dried flowers, and hints of sandalwood all emerge from the 2020 Cairanne La Côte Sauvage, a pure, elegant very pretty Cairanne based on 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre, and the rest Carignan. This medium-bodied, silky, and elegant wine has nicely integrated oak, fine tannins, and a great finish.
