2019 Domaine Roche Cairanne

Outer quote mark The 2019 Cairanne is brilliant stuff, and I'd certainly be happy to drink a bottle. Lots of black raspberry and jammy blueberries as well as candied orange, flowers, and peppery herbs give way to a medium to full-bodied, rounded, sexy Cairanne with beautiful purity as well as length. It's going to drink nicely right out of the gate yet keep for 7-8 years. Inner quote mark (3/2021)

K&L Notes

Romain Roche took over the family property from his father Marcel in 2009. Romain is known for expressing the typicity of Cairanne and has become one of the key producers synonymous with the region. The Cairanne is a blend of Grenache (planted in the 1950s and 60s), Syrah (planted in the '70s) and Carignan (planted in the '50s). The wine is fermented in concrete tanks and aged in a mix of concrete tanks and oak barrels. We are delighted to add him to our family of Direct Imports this past year. The 2019 is 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. The Grenache is aged in concrete tanks for 8 to 10 months; the Syrah is aged in barrels and demi-muids for the same.

I think that this wine out performs its price point. It is full bodied and complex with round focused and delicious flavors . On the dry side, it will be best with food.

The star of the show Roche portfolio is the Cairanne. All from older vines Grenache and Syrah, this is brought up in a mix of concrete tank and large oak barrels. Sliding from the redder fruited Cotes-du-Rhone, the Cairanne expresses deeper black fruit flavors alongside savory herbal and spice notes. This transcends its price point and imposes a lot of wine for very little money. This should evolve beautifully for several years.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Rhone

- Legendary wine-producing region in southeast France. Stereotypically speaking, Rhone wines are high in alcohol, and the majority produced is red. The northern Rhone is best known for outstanding 100% Syrah wines from areas such as Cote Rotie and Hermitage, as well as for fabulous white wines from Condrieu (where Viognier is king). In the southern Rhone, look for spicy, full-bodied wines that are blends of Grenache, Syrah, and other varietals coming from appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, or Rasteau. Wines labeled as Cote du Rhone or Cotes du Rhone Village (a cut above generic Cotes du Rhone) are frequently found here in the US because they often represent some of the best values on the market.
