Rhone Valley Alary Estate

Our committee's review

Recently featured in the RVF Guide — France’s leading wine publication — Domaine Alary has been making waves with a series of charming, organically grown cuvées, praised for their honesty, vibrant fruit-driven aromas, and finesse.

Since returning to the family estate in 2016, following a winemaking journey through the Southern Hemisphere, Jean-Étienne Alary has propelled this historic Cairanne estate to new heights.

His work is now widely acclaimed, with red wines known for their powerful yet polished texture, offering immediate enjoyment, and beautifully crafted whites that are pure, precise, and impress with their mouthwatering persistence and mineral-driven length.

Spotted by the Parker Guide, which now ranks it among the Rhône Valley’s elite, Domaine Alary remains refreshingly accessible.

Today, you have the chance to discover two superb vintages of their Jean de Verde White, a wine led by Clairette, offering both freshness and depth.

A blend of old-vine Clairette and Bourboulenc planted on south-facing clay hillside soils, 2022 Cairanne Jean de Verde White delivers a vibrant expression of Mediterranean flavors. The nose is lifted and fresh, with notes of anise, acacia blossom, hawthorn, citrus zest, and white stone fruit, all carried by a striking intensity and brightness. The palate is both round and lively, with a delicate citrus lift and a spiced undertone of vanilla and almond, beautifully enhanced by partial aging in oak barrels — adding depth without overpowering the wine’s finesse. The finish is long, silky, and elegant, stretching out the wine’s impressive structure and concentration. This is a white wine made for the table — perfect with grilled prawns, roast chicken with pesto, or baked fish. Awarded 94/100 by the Parker Guide.

A blend of old-vine Clairette and Bourboulenc grown on south-facing clay hillside soils, 2023 Cairanne Jean de Verde White offers a beautifully Mediterranean profile, with notes of anise, hawthorn, and delicate white fruits. Fresh and lively, with hints of citrus and gentle spices, the wine’s texture is perfectly balanced by partial aging in oak barrels, adding depth while preserving its vibrant energy and a subtle saline edge. This is a white wine made for the table — ideally paired with white meats or fish in sauce.

One of the Parker Guide’s favorite estates in Cairanne.
