On our wine tour to the southern Rhône Valley recently, we visited the Alain Jaume winery who proudly announced that they had been named Wine Producer of the Year (Vigneron de l’Année) in the Guide Hachette des Vins de France 2026, one of France’s most prestigious and important wine guides. The Guide Hachette is widely used by the French when shopping for wine.
So it’s no wonder that Hélène Jaume and her colleagues were so happy. The winery makes wines all over the southern Rhône Valley, and a little in the northern Rhône.
Try them if you can find them! Here are some of the wines we tasted at their winery:
- Alain Jaume Côtes du Rhône Grand Veneur Organic Reserve, 2022
- Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Origines 2022, Domaine Grand Veneur Alain Jaume
- Gigondas Terrasses de Montmirail 2022, Alain Jaume
- Vacqueyras Grande Garrigue 2022, Alain Jaume
- Lirac, Clos Sixte 2022, Alain Jaume
- Côtes du Rhône Les Champauvins 2022, Alain Jaume
