2022 Camille Cayran AOC Cru Cairanne 'La Grande Reserve'

Terroir
These wines come from the vineyards located on the Miocene hillsides north of the village of Cairanne, called 'Montagne du Ventabren.' Soils consist of limestone pebbles with rare flint, alternating with marl. The vines are sloping, south-facing, and well-exposed to the sun.

Winemaking Process
Traditional, in concrete vats without heating. Cold pre-fermentation for 48 hours. Punching down every day for the six weeks, with a controlled temperature between 16 and 27 degrees C. Maturing in concrete vats for 10 months. Very light sulphiting during bottling. No sulfur during vinification.

This impressive Cairanne features fine tannins and a certain sleekness that makes it feel considerably lighter than it really is (15% alcohol). Attractive aromas of blackcurrants, cinnamon and candied orange peel. The long, silky finish pulls you back for more. Drink or hold.

50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre. 10 months’ ageing in concrete tank.
Tasted blind. Juicy and attractive red-fruit (strawberry) nose. Some chewy tannins and moderate acidity. Clean and easy-going style. (AC)
