Geographically speaking, Cayrol should really be mentioned in the same sentence as Espira de l'Agly neighbours Domaine Joliette et al, as that's where their vineyards are...
But you'll find cellar and home in Rivesaltes town, so that's maybe where you're more
likely to taste the wines if you're touring the area. Danièle Cayrol made their first certified
organic vintage in 2011, by the way, hence this is what I tasted at last year's Millésime Bio show. More info to follow when I find some (the web address I was given doesn't work)... from this year's show perhaps...
Where to find them: 15 rue du 4 Septembre, 66600 Rivesaltes. Phone: 06 86 53 82 71,

Cuvée Sébastien rosé (Grenache) – clean and crisp style, a
bit baked?

– attractive warm fruity style, peppery with liquorice fruit, ripe
and soft vs powerful and dry grip, nice lively youthful fruity
finish. Good.

crunchy side vs ripe fruity texture, tasty fresh vs lush finish. Good
