Courtois is a Jaume family-owned estate going back 5 generations.  Pascal and Richard Jaume have now taken over from their father and are pursuing the tradition of quality that their father Claude started.  The vineyards are located in an outstanding terroir of the Rhone Valley, the Vinsobres that combines the advantages of both the southern and the northern Rhone Valley.

Wine Spectator has recognized the family’s 2017 La Grange with 92, calling the wine “sleek and pure, with a focused beam of dark plum, blackberry compote and anise.” ﻿
