Description
Camille Cayran “Cuvée Antique” from Cairanne 2021. NEW VINTAGE.
60% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Shiraz. This is the flagship wine of the Camille Cayran portfolio. Cairanne is one of the best winemaking villages in the southern Rhône.
Stunning attractiveness through its savoury complexity, herbal perfume, spice and earth, overlaying the plummy Rhône fruit and marzipan richness, wood and sap, licorice and tar, while the palate is a triumph too, juicy acidity wrestling with beefy flavour and bodybuilding muscularity – 15% but you’d never know it because it’s all so well in balance. A major workout for the palate at this early stage in its life. Wow! Demands food. Will improve with bottle age. This wine would seamlessly slot into a tasting of top end Châteauneuf-du-Pape because it has all that is most wonderful about the Southern Rhône fused with gregarious individuality and formal structure. Extreme value-for-money. Drink now to 2035+
