ABOUT THIS WINE
Domaine Catherine Le Goeuil was established in 1993 in Cairanne, a standout appellation in the Southern Rhône Valley that achieved Cru status in 2016. After experiencing a severe reaction to chemical vine treatments early on, Catherine Le Goeuil immediately converted her 6-hectare estate to organic viticulture. The vineyards sit on hillside terraces with limestone and sandy molasse soils, continuously aerated by the Mistral wind. The producer focuses on fruit purity, freshness, and unadulterated terroir expression over high extraction.
