About the Producer: 

"If you've heard of Cairanne, one of the best terroirs in the vast Cotes-du-Rhone appellation, it's probably because of Marcel Richaud. 

Richaud comes from a vine growing family who'd historically and prosperously sold grapes to the local cave cooperative So it came as a shock when Marcel, only 17 at the time, told his father he wanted to become a "vigneron independant". To his senior, this was incomprehensible and felt very risky: nothing to gain, more work and less pay. Undeterred, Marcel started with 14 hectares of his aunt's vines, producing his first vintage at 19 years old in a dilapidated cellar with no roof. He quickly made a name for himself in the nascent Parisian natural wine scene of the early 1990's and eventually began incorporating his father's cooperative vines into his eponymous production."
