A grape of Spanish origin plays the leading role in this wine. The Mourvedre grape proves to thrive in the French climate. It thrives along the Mediterranean coast. It's not an easy grape to grow, as it needs a fair amount of sun and warmth to reach its full potential. But with a little perseverance, the result is an excellent wine with a deep color and spicy aromas.

The vinification process of Les Jamelles Mourvedre

Since 1991, Les Jamelles has been crafting unique wines in the south of France. Everything is handcrafted, and the vineyards are maintained with great passion. The two young winemakers, Catherine and Laurent Delaunay, gained extensive experience in California but fell in love with the Langeudoc-Roussillon region. The winery has grown into a world-renowned estate, and its high-quality wines are a result of the diverse terroirs. This is also the case with this Les Jamelles Mourvedre. The grapes come from select terroirs. The vines have an average age of 20 years and are planted on slopes at an altitude of 50 meters above sea level. The chalky soils produce rich, fresh grapes. A large portion of the harvest first undergoes an extensive three-week maceration period in the winery, until alcoholic fermentation is complete. The remaining grapes undergo a short maceration and are transferred immediately before fermentation begins. Finally, only a small portion is aged in oak barrels.

The surprising taste of Les Jamelles Mourvedre

With a deep red color, Les Jamelles Mourvedre appears in the glass. The spicy aromas are immediately noticeable. Notes of marzipan, honey, lavender, and thyme leap from the glass. The palate is delightfully fruity, with hints of strawberry and peach. A surprisingly full flavor with balanced tannins. These flavors carry you through to a sweet finish with a soft texture. A characterful wine with just the right amount of power.
