“The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Fontaine Blanc is a much more concentrated and serious wine that needs to be aerated to open up properly right now. Made from Roussanne, it has a medium-gold color and rich aromas of honeyed stone fruit, orange blossom, caramelized peach, and toasted bread. It also has a lovely attack on the palate; it is medium-bodied and offers a multidimensional, concentrated sensation, along with good acidity on the finish.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2022) A benchmark for the appellation, this superb gastronomic white is a sure bet!

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

A leading figure in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Tavel, Alain Jaume runs a family-owned business focused on high-quality wine trading as well as their own exceptional vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Côtes du Rhône. Their greatest source of pride is the “Grand-Veneur,” a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Clos de Sixte, the family estate located in Tavel, offers a fine representation of the appellation, while in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the old-vine cuvée ranks among the appellation’s finest wines. The estate’s future is brilliantly secured by Alain Jaume’s children.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Originally from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Alain Jaume and his sons, Sébastien and Christophe, carry on a winemaking tradition that dates back to 1826. They manage a 155-hectare vineyard using organic methods, 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 trading business. A sure bet.

4-Star Rated Estate (Very High-Quality Production)

About the estate:

In the Jaume family, they have been winemakers “…ever since Mathieu Jaume decided to plant vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in 1826.” Odile and Alain Jaume and their sons, Christophe and Sébastien, now manage a 70-hectare vineyard (Domaine Grand Veneur, Clos de Sixte) that also produces wines under the Lirac and Côtes du Rhône appellations. As expected, Grenache Noir and Syrah dominate the vineyard’s grape varieties. The estate began the transition to organic farming in 2009.

Rated winery (2022 guide) Recommended

About the wine:

The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Fontaine Blanc is a much more concentrated and serious wine that needs to be decanted to open up properly at this stage. Made from Roussanne, it has a medium-gold color and rich aromas of honeyed stone fruits, orange blossom, caramelized peach, and toasted bread. It also has a lovely attack on the palate; it is medium-bodied and offers a multidimensional, concentrated sensation, along with good acidity on the finish. Let it age for one to three years in the cellar and enjoy it over the next decade.
