Description

A new Châteauneuf-du-Pape with gravitas and warmth.

A classic from the southern Rhône with all the generous warmth and gravitas you’d expect from this legendary appellation. Rich, layered and full of southern charm, this Grenache-forward Châteauneuf-du-Pape (from 70% Grenache) captures the sun-drenched intensity of its stony terroir. Made from vines with an average age of 40 years and aged for a year in oak barrels, the nose opens with dark cherry, crushed blackberries and sweet herbs – thyme, lavender and a hint of warm spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and structured, with ripe red fruits, black pepper and hints of leather, flint and cinnamon. There’s a subtle earthiness the lingers with fine-grained tannins and a core of freshness keeps it balanced. Made with respect for tradition – low-intervention winemaking and careful ageing – this is a bottle to open slowly, share generously and savour fully. Very approachable now or cellar for up to 10 years.

Founded in 1929, Cave de Cairanne is located in the heart of the Southern Rhône Valley Crus, in the Vaucluse department, on the left bank of the Rhône, close to the main flagship appellations of the Côtes du Rhône including Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. The 65 winegrowers of the Cave pass on their passion for the land from generation to generation and work some 550 hectares of vines to produce quality wines with the Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Villages Plan de Dieu, Cru Cairanne, Cru Rasteau appellations as well as organic and sulfur-free wines.
