"The Richaud estate's flagship wine, combining finesse and structure"

“A pure, bright, and transparent Cairanne, with notes of red cherries, berries, and warm spices. It is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Juicy and fruity, with a crisp character. Fresh and lively.” (James Suckling 2025)

Rated estate (2026 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

The younger generation—Claire, Thomas, and, more recently, Édith, the youngest—is brilliantly carrying on the work of their father Marcel, an iconic figure of the Cairanne appellation. While honoring their heritage, they are injecting new energy into the estate, marked in particular by the acquisition of an additional 20 hectares, part of which borders the famous Ebrescades parcel. The wines, consistently of remarkable quality, are becoming even more refined and precise in their expression. More precise aromatically and more refined in texture, they now combine depth and immediacy in an increasingly accomplished balance.

Rated Estate (2027 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

This iconic estate has been brilliantly managed since 2014 by Claire and Thomas Richaud. They have brought their own artistic sensibility while preserving the estate’s spirit, blending rich maturity with freshness. The craftsmanship behind these high-alcohol wines is truly admirable: each cuvée embodies its terroir and displays aromas of magnificent refinement. Over the past several vintages, these wines have gained even more finesse without losing any depth—they stand at the pinnacle of the southern Rhône.
