Vignobles Alain JaumeChâteau Mazane 2023

About this wine

This Vacqueyras from Vignobles Alain Jaume is a beautiful expression of the Southern Rhône's signature blend. The 2023 vintage brings together the warmth of Grenache, the structure of Syrah, and the earthy depth of Mourvèdre in perfect harmony.

On the nose, you'll find ripe blackberries and wild herbs, with hints of garrigue and a touch of black pepper. The palate is generous and full-bodied, showing dark fruit flavors balanced by smooth tannins and a long, savory finish. At 14.5% alcohol, it has presence without being heavy.

Decant this wine for at least an hour before serving at 16-18°C to let it fully express itself. It pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, beef daube provençale, or a hearty mushroom risotto. This is the kind of wine that makes a weeknight dinner feel special.
