NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Alain Jaume Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Les Origines is a remarkable wine that showcases the essence of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.On the nose, this wine offers a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with notes of spices, such as black pepper and cloves. There is also a subtle hint of garrigue, which adds a touch of Mediterranean charm to the aroma profile.
The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth with elegance. The ripe fruit flavors continue to shine, accompanied by well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The wine displays a harmonious blend of flavors, including dark chocolate, licorice, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging.
The Alain Jaume Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Les Origines is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully for several years. It pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes, such as roasted lamb or beef stew, as well as with aged cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Alain Jaume
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
