"Omnipresent in the Guide, the Jaume family stands out once again with this very convincing Cairanne. With its rich color, its varied nose hinting at wild rose, stewed blackberry and fur, and its full, warm, pleasantly tannic palate, lingering long on kirsch-flavored morello cherry, it has all the hallmarks of a refined, distinctly southern red with good aging potential.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
A key figure in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Tavel, Alain Jaume runs a high-quality wine business with his family, as well as owning some beautiful vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône. Their main source of pride is the Grand-Venu wine, a classic Châteauneuf. The Clos de Sixte, the family estate located in Tavel, offers a beautiful example of the cru, while in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the cuvée from old vines is one of the finest wines in the appellation. The future of the estate is brilliantly assured by Alain Jaume's children.

About the estate:
Originally from Castelpapale, Alain Jaume and his sons, Sébastien and Christophe, continue a winemaking tradition that dates back to 1826. They organically cultivate 155 hectares of vineyards spread across four estates: Grand Veneur in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos de Sixte in Lirac, Ch. Mazane in Vacqueyras, and Dom. la Grangette Saint-Joseph in the Côtes-du-Rhône AOC, all complemented by a wine merchant business. A sure bet.

4-star rated estate (Very high quality production)
About the estate:
The Jaume family has been involved in winemaking "since Mathieu Jaume decided to cultivate vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in 1826." Odile and Alain Jaume and their sons, Christophe and Sébastien, now run a 70-hectare vineyard (Domaine Grand Veneur, Clos de Sixte), which also produces Lirac and Côtes du Rhône appellations. Grenache Noir and Syrah are naturally the dominant grape varieties. The estate began its transition to organic farming in 2009.

About wine:
Cairanne Les Travées 2023 offers beautiful aromas of red and black raspberry, spices, leather, and violet, with wonderful purity. Medium-bodied and pleasantly textured on the palate, with ripe tannins and a concentrated finish, this blend of 65% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre will drink beautifully over the next 5 to 7 years.
