| Parker schreibt:The top cuvee is called Les Origines, and the 2004 is superb. Dense inky/purple to the rim with a glorious nose of blueberries, blackberries, licorice, and a hint of background new oak, this full-bodied wine reveals tremendous intensity, superb purity, and layers of flavor. It should drink well for 10-12 years at the minimum. For the last 7-8 years, this has been one of the best-run estates in Chateauneuf du Pape. Alain Jaume and his two capable sons, Sebastien and Christophe, continue to propel Domaine Grand Veneur into the upper echelon of quality. They also offer an impressively well-made negociant line of wines (under the name Alain Jaume). The hallmarks of the Grand Veneur wines include their extraordinary purity of flavor and impeccable balance |
