Alain Jaume

About Alain Jaume

Alain Jaume is a French wine house from the southern Rhône, known for bold, multi-grape wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape and beyond. For the newcomer, the house's Rhône wines are a solid way into the region's powerful, blended style. For the collector, it's notable that the Champauvins vineyard sits just a few hundred metres outside the official Châteauneuf-du-Pape boundary, so it sells for less even though the quality matches its bigger sibling.

History & Background

The Jaume family has grown wine in the Rhône Valley for generations and today runs several estates in the region's most prestigious appellations. Since 1826 the family has adapted production and technique from vintage to vintage according to the shifting moods of the grapes and the terroir, a discipline they themselves call more passion than trade.

Production & Style

The wines are typically a classic Rhône blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, delivering power and spicy depth.

Signature Style

Bold, Spicy, Full-Bodied
The flavor offers a warm, spicy fullness with dark berries and a robust tannin structure.
