Les Petites Jamelles Rouge

When Catherine (the daughter of Beaujolais winegrowers) met Laurent (from a family of Burgundian wine negociants) in 1986 at university studying oenology (wine and winemaking!) it was inevitable their future was in le vin (wine!).

In the 1990s Catherine and Laurent headed to the Languedoc in the south of France with no vines, no winery and very little coin in the bank but a lot of determination to launch their own wine brand. By the early 2000s Les Jamelles was born and exported to the USA where it caught the eye (and nose and mouth) of Robert Parker, one of the world’s most influential wine critics. The rest as they say is history and today Les Jamelles is one of the Languedoc’s largest producer and exported to 45 countries across the planet.

This is the Les Petites Jamelles range and they’re all about big value, uncomplicated, fruit forward, easy drinking styles that give you a little introduction into the sheer bang for buck you can get from this part of the wine world. Or as we call it Le Petit Quaffer!

This is a a blend of juicy Grenache and dark, spicy Carignan from 15-20 year old vines – this is a fruit driven, succulent and juicy red blend you’ll enjoy with or without food.

But if you’re pairing it with a feed think roasted and barbecued red meats, hearty pastas and pizzas.
