Aged in stainless steel vats. Early bottling, 6 months after the harvest. Intense purple color. Great nose of red fruits. Soft tannins, approachable, and ready to drink.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\"Under the negociant label, the Alain Jaume 2012 Cotes du Ventoux Les Gelinottes is a blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah aged in stainless steel prior to bottling. More one-dimensional than some of the other wines, it is fruity, straightforward, beefy and nicely textured offering chewy fruit. Drink this attractive, deep ruby\/purple-colored Cotes du Ventoux over the next 1-2 years.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tAs longtime readers know, Grand Veneur is one of the best-run estates in Chateauneuf du Pape, but their flagship Chateauneuf du Pape offerings are priced too high for this Best Buy report. They also run a negociant operation under the -Alain Jaume- moniker that also produces well-made wines from various southern Rhone appellations. For starters, they have the Midas touch when it comes to white grapes.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #208, August 2013), \u003cstrong\u003e86 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alain Jaume","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948778844207,"sku":"F0EE137172RRM","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/alain_jaume_ventoux02_f9ebaf31-53a8-4ec4-b9bd-100388604127.jpg?v=1771483576","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/alain-jaume-ventoux-les-gelinottes-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
