Les Petites Jamelles rouge

Grape variety

Grenache & Carignan

Terroir(s)

This red Pays d’Oc wine was a crafted principally from Grenache and Carignan grapes, grown on 15 to 20-year-old vines in calcareous clay soils in the Aude and Hérault departments.

Vinification

More than half of the grapes are vinified using thermovinification, resulting in wines that are very round and very soft with big red fruit (raspberry); the other half is vinified traditionally, for tannic structure and black fruit aromas and flavours (blackberry).

Tasting

Endowed with deep crimson colour tinted with vivid highlights, this wine offers a bouquet of ripe red and black fruit (raspberry, blackberry), spices, pepper and cinnamon.

Food & Wine

Serve at 17-18°C with Mediterranean cuisine and everyday dishes (pasta with carbonara sauce, roasted meats, barbecues, etc.). Catherine Delaunay’s suggests salt pork with lentils, or fish and vegetable tajine.
