Very fruity nose, quite intense with red fruit aromas. Very fruity on the palate, with lots of character and roundness. Spicy finish. A very well-balanced wine that leaves you wanting more!

Powerful and full-bodied, with body and balance, it shows a job well done. A sure value, it provides pleasure, fruit, taste, complexity, power... It's a firework display of taste.

A more complex wine, with all the power of a southern wine. 2016 already, so softer tannins, ready to enjoy or to cellar for 1 or 2 years.

everything you'd expect from a cote du rhone cairane, you'll find in this very good bottle.
Very fruity.

a delightful accompaniment to a simple, effective beef onglet, to be decanted a good hour beforehand.

Suave and full of elegance, those are the two words that came out of our tasting! A real winner!

Appellation
Cairanne
The appellation Cairanne is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison François-Xavier Nicolas and its 21 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
