The oldest among the family’s Cotes du Rhone vines are assembled to produce this cuvée of Grenache (70%), Syrah and Mourvedre. Bursting with ripe, red fruit, aromatically, the Domaine Jaume Côtes du Rhône 2022 is powerfully fruity with hints of spice, cocoa and licorice. Supple and rich, this is a splendid example of a superb vintage. Learn More

From the winery: Close to the 20 contiguous hectares (49.4 acres), surrounding our familly estate, we own several plots that we refer to as les petites parcelles de la Vieille Julienne. As with our entire production, the two wines produced here, starting from the 2022
vintage, receive the same meticulous care and attention, both in the vineyard and in the cellar.

Vineyard : 8 ha (19.8 acres) - Age : 35 years old Complantations of grape varieties : Grenache 65% - Syrah 20% - Cinsault 5% - Counoise 5% - Mourvèdre 5%

A new wine based largely on Grenache from vines just beside the lieu-dit Clavin brought up in foudre, the 2022 Ceci Est Un Flacon De Vin De France has a pretty, perfumed, medium-bodied, lighter style as well as a perfumed nose of wild strawberries, framboise, spring flowers, licorice, and pepper. This total charmer will best many a Pinot Noir and will evolve for 4-5 years or more. - Jeb Dunnuck

The Romain Collet Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2021 receives enviable large contributions from lieu-dits Châtains and Mélinots with smaller contributions from Epinottes, Roncières and Vaillons proper. Between them, their ages average 40+ years, and since 2018 they have been certified organic. The soils across the whole Vaillons vineyards are composed of the very special aggregate of marine fossils called Kimmeridgian, which are part of what makes the Chardonnay of Chablis distinct from Chardonnay grown anywhere else. Romain raises the wine of each parcel in stainless steel tank, large neutral oak barrel or used Burgundy barrels depending on his appraisal of each. In 2021 the ratio is approximately 1/3 to each type of vessel.

Romain Collet Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2021 comes from a block just above Forêts called Perrières. Collet’s other 1er Cru wines see some wood, but not this one; it’s fermented and aged in 100% thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. Romain likes to showcase the tension of Perrières and the wizardry of its older vines (~40 years). No lees stirring. Allen Meadows had this to say about this bottling: “A much more floral nose expresses nuances of citrus confit and spice if more moderate amounts of Chablis character. There is however both better volume and refinement to the medium-bodied flavors that offer a lovely minerality on the lingering, balanced and delicious finale.”

94 Points! A brilliant white Fronsac, the 2022 Grand Village Blanc is bright, juicy, and beautifully textured, with crushed stone, mint, lime, and chalky minerality all defining its aromatics. Medium-bodied and fresh on the palate, it shows remarkable purity and elegance, with a clean, focused finish. Its oak (one-third new) is perfectly integrated. You could drink this today or in a decade. - Jeb Dunnuck

70% Sauvignon, 30% Semillon
