It offers a deep ruby\/plum color to go with terrific notes of blackberries, currants, smoked earth, and spiced meats. This cuvée shows some oak, but it's beautifully interwoven with its fruit, and it has a rich, full mid-palate and a great finish.

Located in the northern part of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and run today by brothers Christophe and Sebastien Jaume, the estate produces a quasi-modern style of Châteauneuf-du-Pape (their Les Origins and Vieilles Vignes) as well as a growing number of negociant based wines from throughout the Southern Rhône. The 2017s whites are terrific across the board, and this vintage has produced charming, pure wines that are already drinking beautifully. The 2016 reds are some of the finest I’ve tasted from this estate.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck (LE MILLÉSIME… The 2016s from the Southern Rhône - Part 1), 95 pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e    \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Wine Enthusiast (December 1st 2019), 97 pts \u0026amp; Cellar Selection\u003c\/span\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grand Veneur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948967653423,"sku":"F0EE137271RRL","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/grandveneurorigines1_2ea911b4-ec91-4d39-b707-ac8c47088928.jpg?v=1771486273","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/grand-veneur-chateauneuf-du-pape-rouge-les-origines-2016","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
