Roussanne, Vermentino, Grenache blanc
A reference domaine of the northern Rhône valley
- This is a wine of considerable minerality, characteristic of the Faugères appellation. The palate is broad yet refined, with a delicate tension that speaks to careful viticulture and restrained winemaking. A white wine of genuine substance.
- The citrus and floral character makes this particularly suited to Mediterranean cuisine—think simply prepared fish, herb-dressed vegetables, or lighter poultry dishes where the wine's mineral backbone will complement rather than compete.
- The roundness and delicacy of le Cairn reflect Pierre Gaillard's mastery of his terroir. This is elegant winemaking: neither heavy nor austere, but rather a balanced expression of place and vintage.

In the mouth
The palate is ample and finely structured, with a delicate tension running through. There is good acidity, which lifts and lengthens the finish. A wine that rewards attention without demanding it.
On the nose
Citrus and floral notes dominate—lemon zest and white flowers—with subtle mineral undertones that hint at the schist soils of Faugères.
On the eye
Golden in colour, with a luminous quality that suggests freshness and careful handling.
Breeding
8 months in oak barrels
Ideal with poultry—a roasted poularde would be an excellent match—or with fish prepared simply. The minerality and restraint also make this a wine of genuine interest as an aperitif. A considered choice for the discerning table.
