Domaine Richaud

The most ‘ fun’ wines at Cairanne undoubtedly come from the talented Marcel Richaud. He is not one to suggest venerable laying down of his bottles, which ties in with his innate sense of conviviality and friendship. Some semi-carbonic maceration is used, which promotes the brightness of the fruit. The enlargement of the cellar now means his flagship wine, Cuvée L’Ebrescade, made only in small quantities – and notably pure in the tricky 2013 vintage – has been matured for two years.
