VARIETY: Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Counoise
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic
Vines with an average age of 70 years planted on soils of sand, silt, gravel, and heavy clay, located near the Aygues River in Cairanne. The historic heart of Domaine Richaud, these were the first parcels vinified by Marcel in the 70’s. A short fermentation of 12 days with natural yeast to obtain the best fruit expression. The wine is then aged in underground concrete vats for 8 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered with a small amount of sulphur.
Marcel Richaud was a pioneer in southern Rhone in using organic practices and minimizing So2 in his wines early 70's in the village of Cairanne. His wine are always big (classical of the area) but somehow always balanced and still with a great acidity as a backbone. Marcel is very experienced and always blends in different grape varieties to make this wine a delight.
