Approachable, reliable Cairanne from one of the appellation's well-established estates; generous fruit, good structure, and excellent value.

What it pairs with

  • Boeuf bourguignon
    Warm dark fruit and structure work with rich, braised beef.
  • Grilled lamb brochettes
    Herb-accented Grenache is a natural match for skewered lamb.
