Camille Cayran

2023 Cairanne AOC Grande Réserve Rouge

96 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards, Gold Medal: "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." Drinking window 2022-2028.
