Vintage Character Château des Jaume Infusion 2022 comes from Côtes du Roussillon Villages, with fruit sourced from the Tautavel sector, one of the region’s most characterful village crus. The 2022 vintage was marked by hot, dry Mediterranean conditions, concentrating berries and naturally yielding a wine of generous fruit, supple power, and strong regional character. This rugged landscape, shaped by sun, wind, and poor stony soils of schist and limestone between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, gives the wine both ripeness and a savory mineral edge.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Built on Syrah and Grenache, the wine opens with blackberry, black cherry, wild raspberry, violet, and garrigue, followed by black pepper, licorice, and a faint smoky note. The palate is medium-full and expressive, with ripe dark fruit, firm but polished tannins, and enough freshness to keep the finish lively and persistent. Its texture balances southern warmth with lift, making it a versatile red for grilled lamb chops, duck breast with olives, or rosemary-roasted pork loin.
Winery Background Château des Jaume is part of the Jeanjean family’s long Languedoc-Roussillon heritage, today within the Advini portfolio, and the estate is known for translating Tautavel’s dramatic terroir into wines of both intensity and precision. The approach emphasizes sustainable viticulture and careful parcel selection, with harvesting and extraction handled to preserve aromatic detail rather than force. As the name Infusion suggests, the style favors gentle extraction for finesse, delivering a modern Roussillon red that remains rooted in place.
