Alain Jaume 2020 Vacqueyras "Grande Garrigue" 750ml

The 2020 Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue is slightly more mid-weight, but it too is silky and seamless, with Provençal aromas and flavors, medium body, and silky tannins. Drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years as well.

Established in the northern part of Châteauneuf du Pape, the Jaume family has been dedicated to the art of wine growing since 1826.  This venerable profession is our legacy, but above all it is our passion, requiring discipline, perseverance and a respect for nature and the challenges she presents us with. Every vintage is different from the last and we must skillfully adapt our growing techniques to the ever-changing behaviour of the vines, the grapes and the terroir.  Our aim, as skilled wine growers, is to produce, carefully and lovingly, wines that are intense, rich and complex and that reflect and embody the wonderful terroir of the southern Rhône Valley.  Our labels are stamped "Alain Jaume", with humility but also with a certain pride, as our name represents the guarantee of our constant commitment to your satisfaction.
