Taste Block

Tasting Notes

Grenache (50%), Syrah (20%), Carignan (20%), Counoise (5%), and Mourvèdre (5%).

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with soft tannins and balanced acidity supporting a core of ripe red fruit. Flavors of cherry, blackberry, and spice unfold across the mid-palate, with earthy and herbal notes that reflect the Mediterranean landscape. The finish is smooth and moderately persistent, leaving impressions of red fruit, warm spice, and calls for a slight chill. 

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

The moderate structure and fruit-forward profile of this Côtes-du-Rhône make it well suited to rustic, savory dishes rather than highly structured or intensely spiced fare. It pairs naturally with roasted poultry, grilled sausages, and pork dishes, where the wine’s acidity helps balance richness. Mediterranean preparations featuring herbs, olive oil, and vegetables also work well, as the wine echoes the herbal character typical of southern Rhône landscapes. Avoid very delicate seafood or strongly sweet sauces, which may overwhelm its balanced structure.

About the Producer

Domaine Marcel Richaud is a respected family estate based in the village of Cairanne in the southern Rhône Valley. Marcel Richaud founded the domaine in the 1970s and gradually established a reputation for expressive, terroir-driven wines that emphasize balance and authenticity rather than heavy extraction. The estate is now managed with the involvement of the next generation of the Richaud family, continuing the philosophy of careful vineyard management and minimal intervention in the cellar.
