The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A leading name of the southern Rhône Valley, firmly rooted in Gigondas and Cairanne, Domaine Amadieu has built its reputation on powerful, flavorful wines made to age. VALAP has teamed up with this renowned Rhône Valley estate to bring you an exclusive wine — a Cairanne under 10 euros, handpicked by the Selection Committee.

With breathtaking parcels on the best high-altitude terroirs of the region, Pierre Amadieu harvests Grenache and Clairette at perfect ripeness, crafting characterful wines that are aged for long periods in large oak casks and built for impressive longevity.
Wine The 2023 Red Cairanne is bright and expressive, offering aromas of ripe stone fruits and a subtle floral touch, with hints of rose. On the palate, it shows impressive concentration and balance, with finely integrated tannins and a refreshing lift that carries through to the finish. The sunny vintage is handled with finesse, preserving freshness and elegance alongside its generous character. A versatile wine that pairs beautifully with slow-cooked dishes, such as lamb stew. Rated 93/100 by our Committee.
