An organic wine from a selection of high altitude vines in the Cairanne AOC! 

Like the previous vintages, this Cairanne 2020 is made from very old vines (between 80 and 100 years old) and from high plots of the appellation (250m).

A rich and fresh wine representative of this appellation, which is still unknown to everyone.

Since 2016, Cairanne has become a Cru of Côtes du Rhône. Adjacent to the south of a hilly massif that separates the Aygues and Ouvèze valleys, the appellation extends over the single commune of Cairanne in the north-western part of the Vaucluse. 

A selection of very old vines on the high hills of the AOC Cairanne, planted on a soil of limestone pebbles dating from the Miocene. 

Vinification

Late harvest. Very long cold maceration with intense pigeage in order to extract the maximum of aromas and matter before the appearance of alcohol.

Extractions were stopped at the beginning of fermentation.

Ageing 

Aged in concrete vats in order to respect the freshness and the fruit.
