Our Collection
L'Insouciante Rouge
Insouciante, French for the happy-go-lucky-care-free spirit embodied by these wines.
A gentle garnet hue exhaling aromas of red and black fruit supported by a spicy note and hints of garrigue—how does one pin down the flavour of Grenache?
In the mouth, the Insouciant shows powerful high volume blackberries and figs with plenty of big rounded tannin. For the die hard lovers of big red's, this is a terrific BBQ wine, charcuterie wine, and a treat on its own.

The Cave de Cairanne
The Cave de Cairanne cellar gathers together the fruit of 65 winegrowers who have passed their passion for the land from generation to generation. Their fruit is entrusted to Denis Crespo, part time professional French bicyclist, full time Cave de Cairanne winemaker, a fellow supremely talented in doing minimalist winemaking on a large scale. This is precisely what the world of wine needs, the heart of what post industrial, post critic driven wine can be, combining the strengths of modern hygienic cellars with chemical free farming, indigenous ferments, and winemaking without additives (save for minimal sulphites in select cuvées).
Together, Camille Cayran’s farmers work 550 hectares of vines in the appellations Côtes-du-Rhône, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Plan de Dieu, Cru Rasteau, Cru Gigondas, Cru Vacqueyras, Cru Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and, of course, Cru Cairanne, their main area.
