2023 Domaine Roche "La Bousquette" Cairanne
91

Review Date: 01/2026Coming from the estate's oldest parcels, including 120-year-old vines, and aged 12 months in cement vats, the 2023 Cairanne La Bousquette offers black cherries, leather, orange blossom, and tons of peppery, Provençal spice and street market nuances. Based on 85% Grenache and 15% Carignan, it's ripe, medium to full-bodied, and has a round, layered mouthfeel with sweet tannins. I like it today, yet it will keep for a decade if well stored.

Notes
Romain Roche took over the family property from his father Marcel in 2009. Romain is known for expressing the typicity of Cairanne and has become one of the key producers synonymous with the region. Roche has worked sustainably since he started the winery and has recently finished the organic conversion process. La Bousquette is a true gem of a vineyard over 80+ years of age located on the terroir known as "La Montagne". This single parcel is planted to Grenache and Carignan on gray clay and gravel limestone soils. All grapes are hand harvested, and each varietal is fermented and aged in concrete tanks to preserve the character of the vineyard and the fruit. A sublime experience that captures the greatest essence of Cairanne.
