Tasting Notes

Bright purple. Pain grille, graphite, blackberry, licorice, earth and tar. The fruit component is extremely focused and clean. As a matter of fact, this almost seems like a very clean version of an equally young Beaucastel. Well-made, richly fruity, sexy, distinctly oak-influenced and medium-bodied, with good finishing sweetness and persistence.

Vinification Details.

The harvest is entirely destemmed and crushed at reception. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel vats with dailty pigeage or punching down. 40% of the blend is then aged in oak barrels and casks.

Producer Information

Winemaker Sebastian Jaume and his brother Christophe, who looks after the sales and marketing side, are two of the slickest operators in the Rhone. Both excel at their particular vocations, and the result is an impressive portfolio that includes top Chateauneuf du Pape estate Domaine Grand Veneur, the beautiful Clos de Sixte vineyard in Lirac and a top quality negociant business, named after their father Alain.

The wines are ripe, intense and full of spicy Rhone fruit. Robert Parker accurately summed them up in his book 'The World's Greatest Wine Estates' as being modern in style but 'never losing the soul and typicity of Provence. They are impeccably well-made, pure, and deeply colored.'


Regional info.

The well run estate Domaine Grand Veneur near Orange dates back to 1826. Alain Jaume is the 5th generation on the estate and together with his sons Sebastien and Christophe, they are really keen on Grenache blended with Syrah and Mourvèdre.

The estate is currently in conversion to organic status.
