With its Mediterranean climate, the southern Rhône produces some of France’s most appealing, supple reds. Cairanne is a particular star, especially from century-old Domaine Martin. Enjoy velvety red fruits with wafts of wild herb and spice notes.

If you want generous, ripe fruit and spice in your wine, similar to a Châteauneuf but not quite the intensity (and at a more friendly price), look for Cairanne. The cru village appellation, just east of Orange, uses the same velvety Grenache grape, with a little Syrah. This ravishing 2020 is from family-owned Domaine Martin, founded in 1905 when Julien Martin bought the property and a small plot of vines. In 1947 son Jules took over, planted more vineyards and built a winery. Today the estate is run by grandsons David and Eric Martin, and they have expanded the estate into many of the southern Rhône’s finest villages. With supple, spicy, bramble fruit, this red is ideal alongside hearty casseroles, roast lamb, or as a gentle sipper solo.
