Estate & Appellation

Domaine Berthet Rayne continues a family winemaking tradition in the Cairanne appellation, one of the most prestigious in the southern Rhône Valley. Situated on the foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail, this appellation recognised as an AOC communale benefits from an exceptional terroir of clay-limestone soils and rounded pebbles. The estate cultivates its vines with respect for the terroir and traditional methods.

Viticulture & Vinification

The vines of Domaine Berthet Rayne are carefully cultivated on selected parcels within the Cairanne appellation. The typical regional grape blend favours Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre, bringing complexity and structure to the wine. Traditional vinification respects the fruit and the expression of the terroir, with tailored élevage to reveal the full potential of the vintage.

Tasting Notes

The appearance shows a deep red with purple highlights, testament to the youth of this vintage. The nose opens with intense aromas of red and black fruits, lifted by spicy notes and garrigue typical of southern wines. On the palate, the attack is forthright and generous, revealing fine tannic structure and rich body. The finish is long and persistent, with beautiful freshness that balances the wine's power.

Food Pairing

This Cairanne Rouge will pair beautifully with grilled red meats, game in sauce, Provençal daubes and hearty braised dishes. It will also marry very well with mature hard cheeses. Barbecued meats and Mediterranean specialities such as Provence lamb will enhance this characterful wine.

Serving

Serve this wine at a temperature between 16 and 18°C to fully appreciate its aromas. We recommend opening it an hour before serving or decanting to allow the wine to breathe. The magnum format favours harmonious ageing and is perfect for large gatherings.
