Tasting notes
Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2016 is a legendary, full-bodied red from the heart of the southern Rhone. Crafted from century-old vines, the blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah delivers a powerful, opulent wine loaded with black fruit and spice, carried by a velvety, generous texture that speaks to the depth of fruit only old vines can give.
More About The Winery
Founded in 1826 by Mathieu Jaume, Domaine du Grand Veneur has grown into one of the leading family estates of the southern Rhône Valley. Today, the estate is managed by the 5th and 6th generations — Alain Jaume and his children Christophe, Sébastien, and Hélène — who continue a tradition of crafting wines that combine heritage, terroir, and modern precision.
Based in the northern part of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the domaine spans 225 acres across four appellations: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes-du-Rhône (including Les Champauvins), Lirac, and Vacqueyras. While historically known for its whites, since 1995 the focus has been on powerful and expressive reds, alongside fresh whites and elegant rosés.
All vineyards are farmed under certified organic agriculture, with practices that include light plowing, natural compost, controlled yields, green harvesting, and meticulous hand harvesting and sorting. This commitment to detail ensures wines of concentration, finesse, and terroir expression.
