Les Jamelles, Grenache, Rouge, 2024
Presentation
- Richness and complexity from a selection of 4 terroirs.
- A Mediterranean climate, tempered by altitude (the Pyrenees and Mount Alaric) and maritime influences (Aude plain and slopes in the Hérault) for roundness, structure, crispness and opulence.
Terroir
The grapes for this Grenache come from four meticulously selected areas: those from higher altitudes in the foothills of the Pyrenees lend richness to the wine; the grapes from Montagne (mount) Alaric, in the northern Corbières region contribute roundness and complexity; those from the Aude River plain lend length and structure; while the Herault’s Valley’s mid-slope vineyards, influenced by the Mediterranean, encourage good ripening of the grapes, lending warmth and opulence. Subtle blending allows the cuvées from these four terroirs to yield a wine with remarkable balance between richness and freshness.
Winemaking
The grapes, harvested at perfect maturity, are completely destemmed. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperature 'relatively low : 22-23°C to maximize the fruit), and with regular pump-overs. At the end of fermentation, maceration is prolonged for several weeks, sheltered from the air, to obtain greater depth.
Ageing
The wine is then aged for 7 to 9 months, partly on oak, partly in tanks to preserve fruitiness.

Tasting
Crimson in colour with vivid highlights, Les Jamelles Grenache features an intense nose evocative of red fruit (raspberry) and notes of mild spices (cardamom). Very rich, very balanced on the palate, this wine is round and bursting with flavours of berry coulis (raspberry, strawberry, blueberry). Nuances of spices (fresh peppercorns) lend pleasing freshness to the overall tasting experience.
