"(60% grenache, 20% syrah and 20% cinsault): Light orange. Lively aromas of raspberry, tangerine and fresh flowers, with a peppery nuance adding vibrancy. Dry and focused on the palate, offering tangy red fruit and citrus zest flavors that spread out with air. Shows good lift and vivacity on the nervy finish, which features a hint of bitter cherry skin."

"One of my favorite estates in Châteauneuf du Pape (an area now being brilliantly covered by my colleague Jeb Dunnuck), Domaine Grand Veneur is internationally recognized for their fabulous Châteauneuf du Papes, but they also produce some terrific values. The estate wines are sold under the Grand Veneur label, but they have also started a négociant business under the name Alain Jaume. Those wines have been very promising as well.
Lovers of rosé should check out the blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Cinsault, the 2013 Côtes du Rhône Rosé Réserve. This crisp, flinty rosé possesses strawberry and cranberry notes intermixed with a hint of watermelons, and a light-bodied mouthfeel. Drink now. - Robert Parker"

Go To Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Rose Reserve

"A beautiful effort, with ripe strawberry, apple blossom and hints of citrus, the Jaume's 2013 Cotes du Rhone Reserve Grand Veneur Rose is medium-bodied on the palate, with a perfect mix of freshness and richness. It's a textbook rose to enjoy over the coming summer months, yet I'm sure it will continue to offer plenty of pleasure through early next year as well. - Jeb Dunnuck"
