The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Recently featured in the RVF Guide — France’s leading wine publication — Domaine Alary has been making waves with a series of charming, organically grown cuvées, praised for their honesty, vibrant fruit-driven aromas, and finesse.

Since returning to the family estate in 2016, following a winemaking journey through the Southern Hemisphere, Jean-Étienne Alary has propelled this historic Cairanne estate to new heights.

His work is now widely acclaimed, with red wines known for their powerful yet polished texture, offering immediate enjoyment, and beautifully crafted whites that are pure, precise, and impress with their mouthwatering persistence and mineral-driven length.
Wine A blend of old-vine Clairette and Bourboulenc grown on south-facing clay hillside soils, 2023 Cairanne Jean de Verde White offers a beautifully Mediterranean profile, with notes of anise, hawthorn, and delicate white fruits. Fresh and lively, with hints of citrus and gentle spices, the wine’s texture is perfectly balanced by partial aging in oak barrels, adding depth while preserving its vibrant energy and a subtle saline edge. This is a white wine made for the table — ideally paired with white meats or fish in sauce.
Vinification Hand harvested at the end of August. Pressing of whole grapes. Fermentation in stainless steel vats and demi-muids. Aged for 8 months in stainless steel vats and demi-muids.
