The serious bottle from one of Cairanne's most beloved estates. L'Ebrescade comes from very old vines perched at 330 meters above the village — a high, breezy site of galets roules and clay that gives Marcel Richaud the structure and concentration he reserves for this Mourvedre-driven cuvee. Vintage to vintage the blend shifts, but Mourvedre leads the way with Syrah and Grenache in support, all aged twenty-four months in large neutral wood. The result is dark, brooding, and saline — black fruits, licorice, sweet spice, garrigue, and a wild, gamey edge that screams southern Rhone done right. Built for cellaring, but already singing with air.

Decanter

"Densely coloured, with a very intense, vibrant nose of liquorice and violets. Full-bodied, rich, creamy black cherry and blackberry fruit, really intensely flavoursome. Rich in ripe tannins, with good acidity. The alcohol is quite high, but that's the price you pay for such expressive, ripe, delicious black fruit! Firm tannins, like blackberry skins."

More about Marcel Richaud

Marcel Richaud is a founder of the natural wine movement, and his 60-hectare Cairanne estate proves that low-intervention winemaking can be serious and rigorous. High-elevation parcels, high Mourvèdre plantings, fermentations in cement, long élevage in neutral oak. His children Thomas and Claire now continue the legacy. Southern Rhône at its most lifted and beautiful.
