Pierre Amadieu Cairanne ‘Les Hautes Rives’ 2023
60% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah. Bordered by the cliffs of blue marl and fine Miocene sands that overlook the river Aygues, the vines of Les Hautes Rives enjoy a hillside terroir at 200m altitude, covered with light marl and pebbles.
Handpicked and simply vinified in stainless steel vats and concrete tanks in order to keep all its original fruitiness and elegance. Fermentation for 14 days with pumping over. Ageing in tanks only. Charming and full-flavoured, this red Cairanne offers a smooth combination of balance and freshness. – Pierre Amadieu
Tasted blind. Both red and dark fruits on the nose. Bags of fresh acidity here and a very firm tannin structure as well – the tannins need to settle. Zesty freshness comes through on the racy finish. 15.5/20 Alistair Cooper MW, JancisRobinson.com
