Tasting Notes

Vinification Details.

Cold soaked for 24 hours before bleeding. The juice is then cold fermented in stainless steel tanks and bottled during the following winter to preserve the fruit freshness.

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.'
