If you want generous, ripe fruit and spice in your wine, similar to a Châteauneuf but not quite the intensity and at a more friendly price, look for Cairanne. This cru village appellation, just east of Orange, uses the same velvety Grenache grape, with a little Syrah. This brilliant vintage 2015 is from family owned Domaine Martin, founded in 1905 when Julien Martin bought the property and a small plot of vines. In 1947 son Jules took over, planted more vines and built a winery. Today the estate is run by grandsons David and Eric Martin, and they have expanded the vineyards into many of the southern Rhône's finest villages. With supple, spicy, bramble fruit, this red is ideal alongside hearty casseroles or roast lamb, or enjoy on its own.
