Tasting notes
The ALAIN JAUME Cotes du Rhone 'Grand Veneur' Rouge 2023 is a garnet-colored wine with a purple tinge, offering aromas of fresh berries (like raspberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant) and spices. The palate is full-flavored with silky tannins, while the finish features notes of licorice and pepper. It is a complex, approachable, and full-bodied organic wine with a versatile food-pairing profile.
More About The Winery
Founded in 1826 by Mathieu Jaume, Domaine du Grand Veneur has grown into one of the leading family estates of the southern Rhône Valley. Today, the estate is managed by the 5th and 6th generations — Alain Jaume and his children Christophe, Sébastien, and Hélène — who continue a tradition of crafting wines that combine heritage, terroir, and modern precision.
Based in the northern part of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the domaine spans 225 acres across four appellations: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes-du-Rhône (including Les Champauvins), Lirac, and Vacqueyras. While historically known for its whites, since 1995 the focus has been on powerful and expressive reds, alongside fresh whites and elegant rosés.
All vineyards are farmed under certified organic agriculture, with practices that include light plowing, natural compost, controlled yields, green harvesting, and meticulous hand harvesting and sorting. This commitment to detail ensures wines of concentration, finesse, and terroir expression.
