Rated estate (2024 guide) Cooperative winery of the year (RVF Grand Prix cooperative winery of the year)
About the estate:
Founded in 1929 in the southern Rhône Valley, the Cairanne cooperative is a model of success. It represents 330 hectares, farmed by fifty-five cooperative members, producing 13,000 hectoliters of wine. In 2014, however, it was selling off its production to large retailers, with a debt of €8 million.
To get this old lady back on her feet, the winery hired Denis Crespo as director in 2015. With his intimate knowledge of vines and wine, he managed to convince the cooperative members that only quality pays off, by involving them more in the production of the wines. The grapes are harvested when ripe and the vines are now worked on a plot-by-plot basis. In the cellar, he revolutionized the winemaking process by using light sulfiting, with some vintages labeled as sulfur-free to improve the quality of the tannins.
His goal: to achieve better balance. Above all, he completely rethought the distribution channel, abandoning large retailers in favor of short supply chains, restaurants, and exports. The wines have made a huge leap in quality. We salute this collective effort, which has yielded significant results in terms of both wine quality and the sustainability of the winegrowers.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 10/20/2025
What juice! With a vigorous and robust profile in this sunny vintage, the Grande Réserve is a deep, opulent, and full-bodied Cairanne with intense and exuberant aromas of jammy black fruits intertwined with peppery and minty notes. The whole is round, concentrated and with a beautiful energy, with tannins that are still present and a fine, caressing touch. A long, powerful finish envelops the palate. The price remains competitive. A full-bodied wine with a strong personality, to be paired with matured rib of beef or a slow-cooked wild boar stew with fresh tagliatelle. Rating = 4.1.
