Domaine Jaume Altitude 420 Vinsobres 2021

Southern Rhone; France

Fresh and complex aromas of black fruits, olives, iris, violet and oak spice make for an inviting nose. The palate boasts a generous and balanced delivery of ripe blueberry, black cherry, mushroom and wild thyme. The finish is delightful with pure fruit that stays long through its clean finish. A beautiful bottling that can be enjoyed in its youth.93pts WE

Domaine Jaume Vinsobres Altitude 420 is an old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted in Les Collines at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The Jaumes have farmed these dizzying elevations at their estate in Vinsobres for 100+ years. The 2021 is the highest rated one to date, a pristine and fresh expression that gives you a bowl full of red berries right up front, yet with a sophisticated tension and length that belies its humble price. Incredible bang for the buck, tailor-made for anyone’s house red, and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone, especially BBQ.

Vinsobres is located on one of the highest altitude sites of the southern Rhône hence the mention of 420.
