The Wine Society's Generation Series Vinsobres 2021
Altitude and mountain breezes make Vinsobres the ideal place to source a Côtes-du-Rhône, and this example, made for us by our old friends the Jaume family for our 150th anniversary, has bright open fruity notes of cherry and raspberry, ripe tasting but without any heaviness. For a video message from the winemaker, and for more on the story of this wine, please scroll down.
Ventoux Les Traverses, Paul Jaboulet Aîné 2022
Richly flavoured and fruity but always fresh red from the slopes of Mont Ventoux. Made from majority ripe grenache with syrah in support, it offers a spot-hitting and delicious palate of ripe red berries and a touch of spice.
The Society's French Syrah 2023
This is a lovely, supple syrah, brimming with ripe flavours of red summer fruit. Most of it comes from vineyards in Brézème, on limestone soils, a dozen miles or so from Crozes.. A perfect little red for grills and simple meals.
Côtes-du-Rhône Rive Droite Rive Gauche 2023
A stunning, fruit-packed wine with easy charm. The name was conjured up because this wine is sourced from both banks of the Rhône, with the grenache coming mainly from the left and the syrah from the village of Daumazan, near the Pont du Gard, on the right bank.
Côtes-du-Rhône, Domaine Jaume 2022
Three generations of the Jaume family farm some 200 acres of vineyard in the village of Vinsobres. The climate here is influenced by Alpine foothills so that cooling breezes play on the vines, preserving fresh-fruit flavours in the wines. Fleshy and generous core with bright red berries and hint of liquorice and clove.
Côtes-du-Rhône, Château Courac 2021
A lighter-style Côtes-du-Rhône thanks to the vintage, and one that is drinking very well with lots of juicy accessibility and balance. Red-berry fruits and red-cherry notes combine with subtle black pepper spice.
