Alain Jaume Les Origines Rouge Chteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 6pack15% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Deep and brilliant, purple-red colour.

AROMA

An exciting nose with aromas of black fruit (blackcurrant, cherry) spices and vanilla.

PALATE

This great aromatic complexity is found on the palate : the spices and ripe fruit appear with an elegant woodiness and harmonious tannins. The finish has good aromatic length and introduces a touch of liquorice and pepper. A terrific Chteauneuf du Pape with great concentration and finesse.

REGION NOTES

Extreme north of Chteauneuf du Pape. This plateau is made with a high quantity of red clay mixed with rocks. This area is considerated to be one of the best to produce rich and powerful red wines. By definition, LES ORIGINES will always deliver a great complexity and ageing potential.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Between 2 and 20 years. Best to decant if young (less than 5 years old).

VINIFICATION

Harvest is sorted by hand, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation temperature is controlled at 30C. Vatting period of 18 to 20 days. Matured in vats (grenache) and in oak casks (syrah and mourvdre).

GRAPE VARIETY

50% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah, 30% Mourvdre
