Sélection Laurence Féraud Cairanne 2021 is a supple, Grenache-led southern Rhône red with vivid red and black berry fruit, gentle garrigue notes, and a touch of peppery spice. Fine, rounded tannins and moderate freshness give it a smooth, easy glide on the palate rather than a muscular structure. It echoes some of the charm and spice of a approachable Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but in a more relaxed, everyday style. Oak, if present, is discreet, leaving center stage to pure fruit and savory herbal nuance. Pour slightly below room temperature with herb-roasted chicken, grilled lamb chops, or a simple sausage and lentil dish.
