There is a bevy of other value-priced Alain Jaume wines. For example, the 2007 Cotes du Ventoux Les Gelinottes (50% Grenache and 50% Syrah) reveals abundant berry fruit, crushed rock, and roasted herb characteristics in a straightforward, juicy, succulent style that will have plenty of fans given its lowly price. Enjoy it over the next several years. This is one of the most ambitious estates as well as burgeoning negociant operations in Chateauneuf du Pape. The two Jaume brothers, Sebastien and Christophe, continue to ratchet up the level of quality with a bevy of brilliant Chateauneuf du Papes and for bargain hunters, some top-flight offerings that include generic Cotes du Rhones as well as Cotes du Rhone-Villages. They also produce an impressive Gigondas. The estate wines, bottled under the name Domaine Grand Veneur, include two of the finest white Chateauneuf du Papes of the village (they own 5 acres of white grapes, a relatively large amount when only 3-4% of the appellation's production is in white wine).Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, VA; tel.
