Syrah (AKA Shiraz, as we all know) thrives in the Languedoc region (AKA Pays d’Oc, which we may not!). This is where the Les Jamelles is grown, resulting in a rich, powerful wine that combines the aromas of wild red berries and violet floral notes with liquorice and vanilla, and a touch of mint, and a savoury, silky finish reminiscent of forest undergrowth. C’est yum!

In the early 1990s, when Catherine and her husband Laurent Delaunay were young winemakers, they would find themselves imagining a range of pleasure-bent, delectable, aromatic and flavourful wines that would speak the universal language of their terroir, and be accessible to all wine lovers, whether they be neophytes or connoisseurs. This range would be named Les Jamelles; a feminine name to evoke the roundness of their wines, in the plural form to reflect the diversity of the varieties, and melodious to recall their roots in the Languedoc, land of the troubadours. Today, Les Jamelles wines make up one of the largest collections of varietal wines from the south of France and are enjoyed in over forty countries. They are renowned for their exceptional value for the money and pleasure factor, their wide appeal, and the fact that they can be enjoyed on all occasions. The Delaunays’ initiative has proven to be a great success and the wines speak for themselves!
