Country: France / Domaine Grand Veneur Les Origines
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Alain Jaume et Fils / Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Loaded with black cherry and plum fruit, this is an amply endowed Châteauneuf-du-Pape that avoids excess. The fruit flavors remain fresh and vibrant, the oaking is understated and the wine’s size is ably supported by soft tannins and just-sufficient acidity. Drink now–2020.
