Experience Exceptional Red Wines at Domaine Du Cayron in the Loire Valley in Rhône, France
30 min
Domaine Du Cayron is a must-visit destination for red wine enthusiasts in the Rhone Valley. The vineyard thrives on a unique blend of clay and limestone soil, with varying textures from sandy to stony. It is divided into four sections based on grape varietals: Grenache dominates with over 75% of the vineyard, followed by Syrah at nearly 15%, Cinsault at 6%, and Mourvèdre at just 2%.
During your tasting, the Faraud sisters will present their finest wines, guiding you through the distinct characteristics of each grape varietal. You will gain insights into how aging conditions impact the flavor profiles of red wines. It's fascinating to note that even with the same grape varietals each year, the wines from different vintages can vary significantly due to changing weather conditions. The sisters are eager to share their observations on how climate influences their wines. Join them for an informative and enjoyable wine tasting experience at Domaine Du Cayron.
