Cairanne High Banks

Red wine | Cairanne AOC

Soft docking
This Cairanne charms with its aromas of sunny black fruits, scrubland and spices. Vinified gently and simply, without wood, it is round, balanced, with a pleasant freshness on the finish. It is a red wine to drink young, in the next 5 years, to enjoy its bright fruit, which will enhance a shoulder of lamb confit or a couscous with vegetables.

Pierre Amadieu

Pierre Amadieu was a pioneer in 1929 when he marketed his Gigondas wines. The years passed and the estate grew, becoming the largest private vineyard in the appellation. Many family members take care of their heritage, now certified organic. In Gigondas, the house's precious high-altitude vines produce remarkably balanced wines.
