Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The newest special cuvee (introduced in 2006) is the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (50% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, and 10% Syrah). Made from 50- to 100+-year-old vines and aged 18 months in small oak barrels, it is potentially one of the longest lived wines of the vintage. This exquisite, dense purple-colored effort reveals intense but restrained notes of cassis, kirsch, lavender, licorice, and graphite. A wine of great intensity as well as remarkable finesse and elegance, is a full-bodied Chateauneuf that will require plenty of patience.

• Jeb Dunnuck: A massive wine and even more concentrated than the Les Origines, the 2007 Domaine Grand Veneur Chteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes shows decadent, rich notes of cassis, blackberry, roasted meat, licorice and espresso. The palate is full bodied with serious fruit, fresh acidity, upfront structure and a blockbuster finish.

Producer Information

Vignobles Alain Jaume is a family-owned wine producer established in 1826 and based in the north of the Chteauneuf-du-Pape region at Domaine de Grand Veneur. The wine portfolio of Vignobles Alain Jaume is produced from a wide range of Southern Rhne appellations, with most reds based around Grenache, Syrah and Mourvdre. The latter two grapes are aged in French oak barrels, whilst the Grenache is matured in concrete tanks. The white Chateauneuf-du-Pape is a blend of Clairette and Roussanne, while Viognier is added for one Ctes-du-Rhne, and used on its own for the other. The vineyards of Grand Veneur and Domaine du Clos du Sixte in Lirac are certified organic.
