ESTATE HISTORY

Created in 1929, the cellar is situated in the heart of the Cru of the Meridional Vallee of the Rhône, in the Vaucluse region on the left bank of the Rhone. It is near the star appellations of Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras.

Camille Cayran knowhow is the story of a small group of devoted wine- makers who work hand in hand with a technical team to create highly expressive wines.

TERROIR

Age of vines: 25 to 40 years
Yield: 32 HL/hectare
