Rated 91pts by Decanter: Cairanne Cuvée Maximilien 2021
16th February 2024
"Smoked meats on the nose, then fresh and upright on the palate. Mouthcoating fruit but only medium-bodied, with quite piercing acidity and strict tannins. Good character and interest, promising some complexity with time." 91pts - Matt Walls, Decanter
It’s not just the esteemed Hachette Guide des Vins who so highly rate Domaine Les Grands Bois. Decanter Magazine’s 91-point scoring on their 2021 ‘Cuvée Maximilien’ Cairanne AOC is perhaps the loftier endorsement.
That’s four generations worth of winemaking wisdom and expertise at work from this small, family run winery. Put this wisdom to work in an appellation which was in 2016 promoted from a Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages classification to the now distinguished, independent, ‘Cairanne AOC’, and you get true excellence in craftsmanship, finesse, and Rhône terroir expression.
But it doesn’t stop there. Domaine Les Grands Bois also make a delicious Viognier about which Robert Parker said "It may be the finest value in Viognier that I have ever tasted.”
Then, another of France's best-value reds - Trois Soeurs 2020. Rich, dark, fresh, spicy - delicious. Buy individually or as part of our Domaine Les Grands Bois Mixed Case.
