  • DOMAINE BOISSON

    LVT 2008 r 2009 wh Big, gutsy, traditional wines

  • DOMAINE BRUSSET

    LVT 2008 r One of the two main wine families at Cairanne, a domaine I have known since the 1970s. The wines are cellar-led, forceful in style, and deliver plenty of punch. Good Gigondas from the high zones.

  • DOMAINE CATHERINE LE GOEUIL

    LVT 2007 r Full wines that are no longer whole bunch fermented. Organic since 1999. Just one cuvée made since 2007, with no name attached.

  • DOMAINE DE LA PRÉSIDENTE

    LVT 2008 r 2006 wh A sad story here, with the premature death of René Aubert in August 2008, after a cancer battle.

  • DOMAINE DE LA TÊTE NOIRE

    LVT 2008 r Organic domaine run by two Belgian gentlemen. They started on their vineyards in January 2008, so that was their first vintage. They also make Vacqueyras, one oaked, one vat only. Worth keeping an eye on this domaine, where the style will be refined.

  • DOMAINE DES AMADIEU

    LVT 2007 r Young couple, keep an eye on this domaine

  • DOMAINE GROSSET

    LVT 2007 r Family domaine that sells most of its crop to the Cave de Cairanne, with 100 hl sold to Brotte at Châteauneuf-du-Pape for raising and bottling.

  • DOMAINE LES GRANDS BOIS

    LVT 2007 r wh Go-ahead domaine from Saint-Cécile; their profile has been raised thanks to their 10-hectares at Cairanne, the wine of which is sturdy and well-fruited. There is also a sound Rasteau. The Besnardeaus instincts are in the direction of making natural, local wine, which is cleaner than that of yesteryear.

  • DOMAINE LES HAUTES CANCES

    LVT 2007 r Really traditional domaine, some extraordinary wines. Calling all lovers of classic Cornas . .

  • DOMAINE ORATOIRE SAINT-MARTIN

  • MARCEL RICHAUD

    LVT 2008 r wh Talented man, ce Marcel! L`Ebrescade one of the great Cairannes. Always good fruit from these low intervention wines.
