"Located in the northern portion of the AOC, with some vineyards near Beaucastel and Vieille Julienne, this estate was one of the first to use new oak for their red wines. Made by Sebastien Jaume, the 2001 Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Origines is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, and 20% Syrah, completely destemmed, and aged for 16 months in new oak barrels. The oak elevage shows here, but there’s more than enough fruit to handle it, and the wine carries gorgeous aromatics of blackberry and cassis fruits, spice, mineral, and classy oak. Full bodied on the palate and brilliantly put together, with a clean, seamless texture, good acidity, and a brilliantly focused finish where the wine’s structure becomes evident, this shows the best of an unabashedly modern upbringing. Still very young, with some upside . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
