Rated 90 Points by Jeb Dunnuck
"Also not bottled, the 2019 Cairanne is likewise young and unevolved, with lots of mouth-filling red and blue fruits as well as ripe tannins and a rounded texture. It's a plush, fruit-driven wine to drink on release and over the following 4-6 years."

Vineyard & Terroir
The Ferme de Gaby vineyard consists of 6 ha vines which are 60 years old on average. It allows deep rooting, hence an excellent exploitation of the soil, giving to the wine the true flavor of the Terroir. The vineyard is located on one of the three different terroir of Cairanne commune: the "Montagne" region, with its South exposure white clay limestone hillsides, perfectly adapted to keep freshness for the Syrah, Grenache and Carignan grapes.
Winemaking & Maturation
The vineyard's grape harvest is exclusively manual. A selective sorting takes place on the vineyard in order to avoid any prolonged contact with lower quality grapes. Once in the cellar, the harvest is completely destemmed. Each plot is vinified separately, in thermoregulated concrete tanks for the Grenache grape, and thermoregulated stainless steel tanks for the Syrah grape. The fermentation durations vary from 20 to 30 days at temperatures of 25- 27°C. Finally, a maturation of 8 to 10 months in concrete tanks is necessary for the Grenache grape, and in barrels and Demi muids for part of the Syrah grape.
Blending
The Cairanne wine is a blend of 70 % Grenache grape, 25 % Syrah grape and 5 % Carignan grape. It comes from a selection of the Domain's oldest vines which naturally have low yields (30 - 35 hl / ha). Half of the Syrah grape matured in barrels and Demi muids aged of at least one year, in order to preserve the fruit of the grape harvest.
Cotes du Rhone Villages Cairanne Wine
Cairanne is an appellation for quality red, white and rosé wines from the parish of Cairanne in the southern half of the Rhone Valley in France. The wines were previously classified as 'Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne', but after an extended period where it was seen by many as the most consistently excellent of the villages, it was elevated to cru status in 2016.
This means that wine produced here is now just labeled 'Cairanne'. They sit at the same level in the classification hierarchy as well known, location specific names such as Gigondas or Cornas, plus other more recently promoted appellations such as Rasteau.
The soils of Cairanne are predominantly of limestone and alluvial types, explained by the presence of several local rivers and streams. Red, iron rich earth over sandstone bedrocks are also found throughout Cairanne. The topography ranges from the glacial plateau to the south of the town to the slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail foothills to the north and west.
Domaine Roche La Ferme De Gaby Cairanne Cru Des Cotes Du Rhone Description
Domaine Roche
At the beginning of the 17th century, Mr Biscarat, ancestor of Romain Roche, selected the best parcels and gradually planted 12 hectares of vines.
The generations of winemakers succeed each other and perpetuate, each with its personality, the family know-how ...
In 1929, Victorin Roche, great-grandfather of Romain, decides to create with a group of vine growers, the cooperative cellar of Cairanne.
In 1932, Maurice Roche, passionate about the vineyards and despite these difficult times, took over the exploitation of family lands.
In 1963, Marcel Roche, the father of Romain, gradually increases the face of the exploitation of an additional 30 hectares and focuses on the parcels of the Cairanne appellation.
He becomes successively president of the wine syndicate of Cairanne and president of the cooperative cellar.
In 2009, Romain Roche took the reins of the business and created Domaine Roche.
