ABOUT CAIRANNE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Cairanne is a small wine village in the southern Rhône Valley of France — and the 17th Cru of the Côtes du Rhône, officially recognized in 2016. From prehistoric settlers to Roman legionaries, from the Vatican’s vineyards to Napoleon’s personal decree, from the great frost of 1788 to the founding of the cooperative in 1929 — this is the story of how one tiny village became one of France’s most respected wine appellations.
In this episode, Émile covers:
• 7,000 years of continuous human settlement
• Roman vineyards and gallo-roman ruins still found in the vines today
• The Vatican era — when the Pope ruled Cairanne from Avignon
• Napoleon’s 1811 decree about the village oil mill
• The 1929 founding of the winegrowers’ syndicate
• Becoming the 17th Cru of the Côtes du Rhône in 2016
• What’s next — celebrating 10 years of Cru in 2026
