Alain Jaume Les Origines Rouge Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 15% 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 Châteauneuf du Pape with great concentration and finesse.
REGION NOTES
Extreme north of Châteauneuf 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).
