CAMILLE CAYRAN

Camille Cayran refers to a wine producer/brand from the Southern Rhône Valley in France, not an individual person in the present-day sense (though the cooperative’s origins involve a historic figure by that name). 

Camille Cayran is the name associated with a range of wines made by the Cave de Cairanne, a long-established wine cooperative in the Cairanne appellation of the Rhône Valley. Founded in 1929, this cooperative brings together about 65 local grower-producers who share a philosophy of quality over quantity and a commitment to terroir-driven wines from this up-and-coming Cru region just north of famed appellations like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. 

The wines under the Camille Cayran label are typically red Rhône blends — often featuring Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and sometimes Cinsault or Carignan — that express ripe fruit, spice, and regional character. They are made with careful vineyard selection and winemaking focused on maturity, structural balance and expressive fruit, and can range from everyday Côtes-du-Rhône styles to more concentrated Cairanne Cru bottlings that have earned strong reviews from critics. 

Camille Cayran represents a traditional Rhône wine brand rooted in cooperative vineyard efforts and quality-focused winemaking from the Cairanne area of France.
