Marcel Richaud, undisputed leader of natural wine in the Rhône, is based in Cairanne, an emblematic appellation where his estate is the emblematic estate of the appellation! The vast estate is composed of 60 hectares and yet, in the vineyard like in the cellar, the work is very, very rigorous. Long gone is the era when the Richauds would deliver their juice to the local co-op. By 1974, at just 20 years old, Marcel was already driven by a conviction to create “living” wine. He built this vast estate with patience, starting with 3 hectares on the superb terroir known as l'Ebrescade in 1987. Certain encounters would have a strong influence on his style, notably one with Marcel Lapierre. The estate is certified organic, all 60 hectares are harvested by hand by a team of 30 people. Marcel remains at the heart of the estate, guiding his children as they take the reins of this treasured legacy. The man owes everything to the very nature of Cairanne, and Cairanne owes a lot to Marcel.
Minimal sulphites
A garnet robe, a friendly and jovial wine, gorged with sun, and a nose full of red fruit. Palate: power and freshness, and a finish with hints of flowers. Goes down smooth as silk, and perfect pairing with a grilled meat.
Minimal sulphites
A very fruity nose, with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. Great drinkability and smoothness, a juice full of freshness. The palate is soft and easy-drinking, bursting with crushed red fruit aromas and a subtle peppery finish... A thirst quencher, obviously.

A garnet robe, a nose of red fruits rouges and black olives, a beautiful fragrance. An intense, refined palate, boasting freshness and balance, and a finish with notes of violets. Lovely and so easy to drink.
Minimal sulphites
A rich nose of honeyed pear, white peach, citrus zest, flower buds and spices. With its silky palate and lovely volume, this is well balanced wine with a southern soul. A cuvée to make us reconsider this appellation's potential for white wines!
Minimal sulphites
A dense robe, a nose of ripe fruit, and a rich, very expressive palate. Fruit upon fruit, complemented by spices and smoky notes. Supple tannins, a long, spicy finish. A refined style and complex wine, especially in 2022, capturing the essence of the vintage and its distinctive terroir.
