CAMILLE CAYRAN CAIRANNE GRANDE RÉSERVE 2020

Gold Medal & 96/100 Decanter World Wines Awards 2022

Cairanne is one of the Rhône Valley’s prestigious Cru appellations, a level of wine that typically commands $40–60 a bottle, making this Grand Réserve an exceptional find. Awarded an outstanding 96/100 Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards, the judges praised its “soft, ripe black forest compote nose,” succulent blackberry fruit, silky texture, superb balance and “dangerously drinkable” character.

A beautifully crafted blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah from mature vineyards, this is a wine of impressive depth and elegance, offering layers of dark berries, cherry, spice and supple tannins before a long, lingering finish. Perfect for steak night, slow-cooked feasts or sharing with friends, this is the kind of Rhône red that makes you wonder how a wine of this pedigree is available at such an incredible value. One sip and you’ll understand exactly why Decanter scored it 96 points.

Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"These wines come from a vineyard located in the commune of Cairanne (in the Vaucluse department, on the left bank of the Rhône), facing the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux. The vines are planted on stony, clay-limestone slopes, with excellent sun exposure."

96/100 Judges' Comments, DWWA 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Soft, ripe black forest compote nose; nice concentration of fruit on the palate. Good weight. Really well balanced in terms of fruit, acidity and tannin; supple and silky. Lots of juicy, succulent blackberry fruit flavours. Superb length. Some nice complexity coming through too. Dangerously drinkable! Impressive."
