Domaine A. Berthet-Rayne Vieilles Vignes AOP Cotes du Rhone Villages Cairanne
Produced from vines with an average of 60 years of age, the Vieilles Vignes from Domaine André Berthet-Rayne is a blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Carignan. Bright ruby in colour, the 2018 displays aromas of coffee, dark fruits and smoky bacon. It is medium to full bodied with a long smoky and bitter chocolate finish. André organically farms 25 hectares of vineyards with his wife Marina and their daughter Alexandra. The history of the estate dates back to 1880 and his great grandfather who started with six hectares of vines as well as olive groves and other crops. André’s father expanded the vineyard and built a winery.
