Camille Cayran is a wine cooperative in Cairanne representing 80 small winegrowers since more than 80 years. The wines produced, include several of the major appellations in southern Côtes-du-Rhône, such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Cairanne. 

This is a high quality Côtes du Rhône Villages, drinking well above its weight. From a co-operative perhaps, but clearly one which values quality. This is Grenache dominant, a blood red/maroon hue, and is quite a savoury style. Notes of warm earth, leather, miso, cloves and dark cherries. If your experience with Côtes du Rhône Villages has been limited to bog average wines, I assure you that you are not on your own but persevere and give this a try. A revelation. The wine is balanced and lingers beautifully. For drinking over the next five to six years. Date: Feb 2025; Price: $50.00; Drink by: 2025-2031; Rating: 92 Points; Ken Gargett; Wine Pilot
