1*Étoile

Hachette

“This special cuvée, which was ‘ Favorite ’ in the 2009 vintage, returns in fine form in a more challenging year. More elegant than powerful, the fruit aromas with hints of spice permeate a beautifully structured, balanced palate, supported by velvety tannins and preserved freshness. A fine classic.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021) A Côtes-du-Rhône for everyday enjoyment!

Rated estate (2019 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Christèle Plantevin loves cooking and wine. She first pursued a career in another field before returning to Cairanne to take over this family estate, founded in 1902, where the garrigue terroir (red clay subsoil and pebbles on the surface) lends power and complexity to her wines. Limiting yields helps preserve the richness and distinctive character of both the reds and the whites.

Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

This special cuvée, which was “ Favorite ” in the 2009 vintage, returns in fine form in a more challenging year. More elegant than powerful, the fruit aromas, tinged with spice, permeate a beautifully structured, balanced palate, supported by velvety tannins and a well-preserved freshness. A fine classic.

About the estate:

After spending ten years in marketing for major food companies, Christèle Plantevin returned in 1997 to the family estate, which was founded in 1902. As the head of 50 hectares of vineyards, she represents the fifth generation.
