Elodie James

Domaine Elodie Jaume was created in 2017, as a result of shared family ownership, recognized in Châteauneuf-du-Pape since 1826 (Domaine de Chanssaud)

The daring and the desire to sign her own wines push Elodie, a young viticulturist, to cultivate 5 hectares of family plots. His open-mindedness and thirst for discovery led him to fly to vinify for 6 months at the Cooper Mountain Estate in Oregon in the United States.

Back in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, organic farming and biodynamic practices are presented to you as evidence to express the complete identity of these great terroirs. On the northern slopes of the Cabrières plateau, his 70-year-old Grenache and Old Mourvèdres sink deep into sandy-clay soil with boulders.

These two great Rhône grape varieties express all their purity, finesse and freshness. Herbal teas and biodynamic preparations are applied to the letter, plot by plot.

These reinforce the life and vitality of the soil and plants.

From the beginning, in order to better understand the intrinsic identity of each of its 8 plots, it opted to separate the grapes into small deposits. Very quickly, Elodie decided to vinify in the most natural way possible.

Aging in concrete vats gives the wines a fine tannic structure, delicacy and freshness.
