Estate & Appellation

Domaine Berthet Rayne perpetuates centuries of winemaking tradition at the heart of the Cairanne appellation in the Vaucluse. Granted communal AOC status in 2016, Cairanne ranks amongst the most prestigious crus of the Southern Rhône Valley. The estate cultivates its vines with respect for the terroir, composed of clay-limestone soils and rolled pebbles which impart fine minerality and remarkable aromatic complexity to the wines.

Viticulture & Winemaking

The vines at Domaine Berthet Rayne benefit from a Mediterranean climate tempered by the mistral wind, encouraging optimal ripening of the grapes. Harvesting takes place at perfect maturity, prioritising quality over quantity. Vinification follows traditional methods suited to Rhône white varieties, with controlled fermentations to preserve the freshness and fruity aromatics characteristic of the appellation.
