Domaine Élodie Jaume - Libra 2024

(Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France)

100% Cinsault

Libra is Elodie's most limited cuvee, as it is fermented and aged in a 10 hectolitre stoneware amphora, and she only makes one amphora's worth each year. The use of neutral vessels and gentle extraction is part of Elodie's house style, bringing a lightness to this wine, which has a beautiful nose of wild red fruit and rose petal, with a very clean and precise palate, bright acids, soft tannins and just a touch of dried herbs.

Made by Elodie Jaume, a young winemaker who for the past 8 years has made all the wines for her family's estate Domaine des Chanssaud, though as of 2023 has converted the entirety of the estate to 'Domaine Elodie Jaume' to solidify her own ideas and her own style.
