AOC Cairanne: Community + Sustainability




The Connected Table SIPS! show

Summary: Cairanne, a pretty hill town in the Côtes du Rhone, has a winemaking community committed to producing elegant wines with an eye on sustainability and authenticity. A cru appellation since 2016, AOC Cairanne requires vines to be hand-harvested and sulfite levels kept to a minimum. 26% of all vineyards are organic. Jean-Etienne Alary, 11th generation family member at Domaine Alary, discusses Cairanne’s different soils and how young winemakers are working to support each other. <a href="http://www.vins-rhone.com" rel="noopener">www.vins-rhone.com</a>
