Rated estate (2021 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
Some winemakers single-handedly embody an entire appellation, and the charismatic Marcel Richaud is one of them. He has undoubtedly contributed to giving prestige to the newest of the southern Côtes du Rhône wines. A visionary and pioneer of parcel-based viticulture, he still dreams of a classification similar to that of Burgundy's climats. With 45 vintages under his belt, he strives to be as non-interventionist as possible in the cellar and in the vineyard. Like Emmanuel Reynaud, he allows his grapes to reach optimal maturity, producing wines that are both delicious and elegant, with a distinctive style. All of the wines tasted this year received the highest ratings, proving to be highly recommendable and of absolutely remarkable consistency. The younger generation, who joined the family business a few years ago, is determined to perpetuate the house's expertise. However, as if to mark a turning point, Claire and Thomas have acquired an additional 20 hectares, half of which adjoins the famous Ebrescades plot, promising some pleasant surprises in the future. Most recently, Edith, the youngest of the family, has succumbed to the siren call of the vineyards. After a brilliant career in Paris in the luxury sector, she has finally settled in the charming little village of Cairanne, bringing a significant additional asset to the wonderful Richaud family.

About the estate:
There are very few winemakers in France who are as demanding and comprehensive, from the vineyard to the cellar, as Marcel Richaud. He has reached the pinnacle of his art since acquiring a winemaking and aging cellar that matches his ambitions. For wine lovers, this producer's work is a blessing. His entire range is of remarkable quality and immediately appealing. Year after year, the wines gain in finesse and precision, while respecting the balance and maturity of the south.
