Domaine des Côteaux des Travers, Cairanne 2010
AOC Côtes du Rhône Villages
Robert Charavin has vines in the village of Cairanne as well as Rasteau. The club periodically buys his excellent Cairanne when he can spare some. Another deeply coloured wine, this Grenache/Mourvèdre based wine has a beguiling floral nose with hints of Iodine. It is richer than the Côtes du Rhône, more structured, bursting with flavours of cranberry and blackberry, supported by soft, ripe tannins. It is surprisingly elegant for all its power, and finishes with the flavour of the stony terroir of the Cairanne hills. Drink now and over the next three years
