ABOUT THIS WINE
Vignobles Alain Jaume, established in 1826, is located in the Southern Rhône Valley. The 'Les Champauvins' vineyard is a single 34-hectare plot situated on the northern border of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, separated only by a three-meter-wide path. Because of this proximity, it shares the same soil of rounded pebbles (galets roulés) and microclimate as its famous neighbor, earning it the nickname 'Baby Châteauneuf-du-Pape.' The estate is managed by the 5th and 6th generations of the Jaume family, who practice certified organic farming.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Hand-harvested and sorted grape-by-grape. The grapes are fully crushed and destemmed, followed by an 18-day vatting period with regular punching down (pigeage) in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The Grenache component is aged entirely in concrete vats to preserve fresh red fruit characteristics, while the Syrah and Mourvèdre are matured in 3- to 4-year-old French oak barrels. The final blend is bottled after 12 months of aging.
