2023 Dm La Remejeanne Un Air de Remejeanne Cotes du Rhone, Rhone Valley

Certified organic

70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. All the fruit for Olivier Klein’s killer-value entry-level Côtes du Rhône grows on the estate’s highland, sandy limestone vineyards set around the hamlet of Sabran. With this wine, Olivier aims for a vin de soif—juicy, floating fruit and sweetly floral perfumes. To this end, following a five-day cold soak, the wines spend only a brief time on skins, and Olivier also incorporates a more significant number of whole bunches in his ferments for more lift and buoyant, bunchy structure.
 
Aged in concrete and bottled within a year of harvest, it’s a vibrant and perfumed Grenache-led Côtes du Rhône oozing pristine red-berry fruit, a jubey palate and a crisply refreshing close.

Domaine La Remejeanne Un Air de Remejeanne Côtes du Rhône is a fresh and expressive organic red wine that captures the vibrant character of the Rhône Valley. Produced by the family-run Domaine La Remejeanne, known for its commitment to sustainable and organic viticulture, this wine is crafted from carefully selected parcels of Grenache and Syrah. Nestled in the hills of the southern Rhône, the estate benefits from limestone-rich soils and the cooling influence of the Mistral wind, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving their natural freshness and aromatic intensity. The result is a wine that offers an approachable yet refined expression of the classic Côtes du Rhône style.

On the palate, Un Air de Remejeanne delivers juicy red fruit flavors, with notes of ripe raspberry, cherry, and wild strawberry, complemented by subtle hints of black pepper, dried herbs, and a touch of earthiness. The wine’s bright acidity and soft tannins create a smooth, balanced mouthfeel, making it easy to enjoy while still offering layers of complexity. Aromas of violets, lavender, and a whisper of spice add further charm, leading to a lively and refreshing finish with a hint of minerality that reflects the region’s terroir.

This Côtes du Rhône is wonderfully versatile, pairing effortlessly with a variety of dishes. It complements grilled meats such as lamb skewers and roasted chicken, Mediterranean-inspired dishes like ratatouille and stuffed peppers, and an array of cheeses, from mild goat cheese to aged Comté. Whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a casual meal, Un Air de Remejeanne offers a delightful introduction to the Rhône Valley’s approachable yet expressive wines.
