Alain Jaume Rasteau Les Valats, hailing from the northern Vaucluse region, boasts clay-limestone, stony slopes, and plateaus at medium altitudes, reaching up to 350 meters. The terroir, akin to Gigondas, induces a late grape ripening, fostering the development of concentrated, high-acid grapes crucial for producing wines of distinctive character. The poor soils and Mediterranean micro-climate contribute to the uniqueness of the wine. Rasteau earned Cru classification in 2009. The predominant grape is Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre. Following traditional vinification in concrete and stainless steel tanks, the wine undergoes elevage in tanks, and bottling occurs 10 to 12 months after harvest, resulting in a wine that beautifully captures the essence of its terroir.
