Domaine Richaud Cotes du Rhone AC
Description: The Cairanne, a blend of 50% Grenache from old vines and 50% Syrah and Mourvèdre, is a mini-masterclass in Rhône wines and, given the quality, a good value one! Its bright fruit and superb balance make it stand out in any tasting of Rhône wines. The vineyards cover 30 hectares outside the village of Cairanne, on the road to Rasteau in the Côtes du Rhône. The vines are bush trained and low yielding. Richaud might be situated closer to the Languedoc than Burgundy, but stylistically he sees himself as having more in common with the Cote d’Or and is dismissive of what he describes as the over extracted styles of the south. The key, he says, is balance, and this begins in the vineyard. He has also finished his new winery, with a succession of smaller tanks, which gives him greater flexibility for blending smaller parcels of wine. (12 x 75 cl)
