Alain Jaume et Fils 2011 Domaine Grand Veneur Red (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)

Country: France / Domaine Grand Veneur
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Alain Jaume et Fils / Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The Jaume family’s regular bottling of 2011 Châteauneuf is a firm, sturdy effort. Dusty tannins frame notes of cherry, ash and espresso and come to a slightly chewy finish. Give it another year or two and then drink it up by 2020.
