Summary
While the domaine was officially founded in 1971 by Jean-Paul Jeune, his ancestors in the Jeune family have been growing grapes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape since the 1700s. Today, they own vineyards scattered throughout the appellation, although a large proportion of them are within the lieu dit of Mont Pertuis (situated next to La Crau). They also make wines from the Côtes du Ventoux AOP under the Château Valcombe label. There have been recent reports that the Domaine has been sold with Jean-Paul retaining some interest.
Style & Vinification Techniques
Winemaking is traditional, with temperature-controlled tanks used for fermentation. Wines are aged in foudres, vats or small barrels ranging from two to five years old.
