‘Les Six’ is a new, six-grape style of Cairanne (an appellation in the Rhone) featuring Cairanne Noir (Grenache) 40%, Mourvèdre 15%, Syrah 15%, Carignan Noir 10%, Cinsault 10%, Counoise 10%. Hand-picked grapes are co-fermented with wild yeasts aided by manual pigeage (punching down), gentle remontage (pumping over) and maturation in tronconiques (large oak vats) for 10 months. Soft cherry, cranberry, redcurrant flavours merge with spicy, rustic flair and alluringly elastic tannins.
Sip with: Roast lamb studded with rosemary and garlic.
