Domaine Richaud 2020 Cairanne Rhône Red Wine

Domaine Richaud Cairanne Red Wine 2020
Hailing from Cairanne—a celebrated appellation within France’s iconic Rhône Valley—this bold red wine embodies the passion and innovation of Marcel Richaud’s family estate. Once known for supplying grapes to local cooperatives, Domaine Richaud’s legacy shifted dramatically when young Marcel defied tradition at just 17 years old by pursuing his dream of crafting wines independently. Starting with 14 hectares of his aunt’s vines and a makeshift cellar without even a roof over his head at 19, he forged a reputation as a pioneer in natural winemaking during the 1990s Parisian movement. Today, his vision shines through this exceptional Grenache-Mourvèdre-Syrah-Carignan blend, marrying Cairanne’s rugged terroir with meticulous organic practices for wines that resonate with authenticity and depth.

Crafted from sustainably farmed vines rooted in Rhône’s sun-drenched soils, this 2020 vintage delivers rich layers of dark cherry, blackberry, and hints of wild herbs—spiced with peppery complexity and smooth tannins that linger on the palate. Marcel’s commitment to organic viticulture ensures purity in every bottle while preserving the unique character of each grape variety. Perfect for pairing with robust dishes like grilled meats or hearty stews, its balanced intensity makes it equally enjoyable as an after-dinner sipper or at any occasion where bold flavors take center stage.

With an alcohol content of 15.5%, this full-bodied red offers both power and elegance—a testament to Marcel’s relentless dedication since his early days transforming family traditions into award-winning wines recognized globally today. Whether you’re exploring natural wines or seeking an authentic Rhône Valley experience without compromise on quality or ethics, Domaine Richaud stands out as a must-try choice for discerning palates.
