The 2023 Alain Jaume Côtes du Rhône Grand Veneur is a classic Southern Rhône red blend crafted from Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvèdre, offering richness, spice and outstanding everyday drinkability. The nose is vibrant and expressive, showing aromas of blackberry, raspberry and plum layered with black pepper, liquorice and subtle herbal spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with juicy dark fruit flavours, silky tannins and a smooth, generous texture. Notes of wild berries, spice and savoury herbs are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a polished, approachable and food-friendly finish. The style is warm, fruit-driven and beautifully balanced, capturing the charm and versatility of the Southern Rhône.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent value Rhône blend for customers who enjoy smooth, spicy and easy-drinking reds with character but without excessive heaviness. Perfect with BBQ, roast chicken, grilled lamb, pasta or casual dinners. Enjoy now and over the next 3–5 years.
