"A well-balanced and rich Gigondas"

“With its distinctive aromas of bitter orange, cypress, and plums preserved in alcohol, the bouquet is as intriguing as it is charming. Full-bodied and powerful on the attack, the palate unfolds with a flavorful, supple texture, supported by silky tannins and enhanced by a warm hint of garrigue that evokes the region. A fine ambassador for Gigondas, ready to be served at the table.” (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

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.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

Shiny black cherry with a hint of raspberry juice that enhances the fruit aromas. The style is refined, somewhat restrained, yet well-balanced and easy to drink. Nice, lively acidity. The tannins are a bit tight, but other than that, this wine is elegant, charming, and easy to drink—a success for the vintage.

Wine Rating (2024 Guide): 2* Stars (Outstanding Wine)

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

About the wine:

With its distinctive aromas of bitter orange, cypress, and plums preserved in alcohol, the bouquet is as intriguing as it is charming. Full-bodied and powerful on the attack, the palate unfolds with a flavorful, supple texture, supported by silky tannins and enhanced by a warm hint of garrigue that evokes the region. A fine ambassador for Gigondas, ready to be served at the table.

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.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 16/20

About the wine:

A lovely nose of dark fruit with notes of canned strawberries, licorice, and earth. Juicy on the palate with plenty of dark fruit, blackcurrant, and herbal notes, round tannins, and a hint of acidity—a real pleasure to drink and a very appealing style.
