L'Insouciante Rouge

Camille Cayran Cave de Cairanne

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 powerfully of plum, goji berry, fig, candied fennel seed, and star anise
with plenty of ripe, fully rounded tannins. For the die-hard lovers of big red's, this is a terrific BBQ wine, charcuterie wine, and a treat on its own. Best served at 16ºC.
