Seated at the table. A typical autumn evening. A succulent stew simmers slowly on the stove, while the aroma of herbs fills the air. An evening like this undoubtedly deserves a glass (or two) of a wine like this Cairanne L'Elegante. Not a glass to be drunk quickly, but a red that takes time to tell its story. L'Elegante is born in the hills surrounding the village of Cairanne, in the heart of the Rhône Valley. The winery belongs to Camille Cayran, part of the Cairanne cooperative. Its blend encompasses the best of the typical Rhône grape varieties: Grenache Noir (40%), the region's principal grape variety, which gives the wine body, warmth and intense aromas of red fruits, Syrah (20%), Carignan (20%) and Mourvèdre (20%). These grape varieties, harvested separately and then blended, give life to a harmonious wine, capable of combining power and finesse. L'Elegante has an intense and brilliant ruby red colour in the glass. The nose is generous, with aromas of wild berries, particularly blueberries and raspberries, followed by spicy notes of black pepper and liquorice. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, with well-present but silky tannins. Thanks to its structure, L'Elegante pairs well with savoury and flavourful meat dishes. In addition to stews and braised meats, it goes well with roasts and aged cheeses.
