"From a north-facing clay-limestone parcel in the La Fontaine area, this cuvée combines clairette and roussanne. Aged without wood, it reveals floral and spicy nuances. Stone fruit comes through on the round, fresh palate, without a hint of heaviness. The mineral, warm-stone finish prolongs the pleasure". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021). A white Châteauneuf du Pape of great finesse!

Alain Jaume - Grand Veneur
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
A key figure in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Tavel, Alain Jaume's family runs a top-quality wine merchant business, as well as owning fine vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône. Their main source of pride is the grand-veneur wine, a classic Châteauneuf. Clos de Sixte, the family estate in Tavel, offers a fine image of the cru, while in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the cuvée de vieilles-vignes is one of the appellation's finest wines. The estate's destiny is being brilliantly assured by Alain Jaume's children.

About the wine:
From a north-facing clay-limestone parcel in the La Fontaine locality, this cuvée combines clairette and roussanne. Aged without wood, it reveals floral and spicy nuances. Stone fruit comes through on the round, fresh palate, without a hint of heaviness. The mineral, warm-stone finish prolongs the pleasure.
About the domain :
Of Castelpapal origin, Alain Jaume and his sons, Sébastien and Christophe, perpetuate a winegrowing tradition that dates back to 1826. They manage a 155-hectare organic vineyard spread over 4 estates: Grand Veneur in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos de Sixte in Lirac, Ch. Mazane in Vacqueyras, and Dom. la Grangette Saint-Joseph in AOC Côtes-du-Rhône, all complemented by a trading activity. A sure bet.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated 4*Stars (Very high quality production)
About the domain :
The Jaume family have been winegrowers "...since Mathieu Jaume decided to cultivate vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in 1826". Today, Odile and Alain Jaume and their sons, Christophe and Sébastien, manage a 70-hectare vineyard (Domaine Grand Veneur, Clos de Sixte), which also includes the Lirac and Côtes du Rhône appellations. Grenache noir and Syrah dominate the grape varieties. The estate began the transition to organic farming in 2009.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Le Miocène 2019 offers a ripe blend of pear and tangerine carried by a rich, creamy texture. Full-bodied and almost unctuous, there's a touch of bitter citrus pips on the finish that helps contain this Clairette-Roussanne blend for subtle balance.
