The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A cornerstone of the Southern Rhône Valley, Domaine Amadieu is celebrated for its bold, flavorful wines, expertly crafted for long aging. With roots in Gigondas and Cairanne, the estate has built its reputation on exceptional quality.

Pierre Amadieu works with stunning high-altitude parcels on some of the region’s finest terroirs, harvesting Grenache and Clairette at peak ripeness. The result? Characterful wines, carefully aged in large foudres, with remarkable depth and the ability to age beautifully over time.

For the first time, VALAP has teamed up with this renowned Rhône Valley estate to bring you an exclusive cuvée: a Cairanne under 10 euros, specially selected by our Committee!
Wine The 2023 Red Cairanne is bright and expressive, offering aromas of ripe stone fruits and a subtle floral touch, with hints of rose. On the palate, it shows impressive concentration and balance, with finely integrated tannins and a refreshing lift that carries through to the finish.
