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

“The nose offers an aroma of soaked blackberries, Morello cherry, lardon-pork, is neatly sweet, sits quite well. The palate presents joli fruit off the bat, is in the zone, with cosy, fluid gras, mild tannins within. The fruit ticks over nicely.”

John Livingstone-Learmonth, Drink Rhône 

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 wooded hamlet of Sabran. Olivier aims for a fruited vin de soif style with this wine—juicy, floating fruit and sweetly floral perfumes. It always hits the spot. After a five-day cold soak, the wine spent only a brief time on skins—less than a week. Olivier also incorporated 50% whole-bunches for more lift and a buoyant structure.  

Aged in concrete and bottled within a year of harvest, it’s a vibrant and perfumed Grenache-led Côtes-du-Rhône oozing rocky red-berry and wild strawberry fruit with green-herb vivacity and a crisp, refreshing close. A lighter, more supple tread than the ’22, and more aromatic too, it is already singing praises to the perfume and charm of high-country Grenache.
