Chateau Unang - James King
Our Wines > Our Wine Makers > Chateau Unang - James King
|
James King bought 20-hectares of vines at Chateau Unang in Provence in 2001 and invested time, sweat and blood
(not too much of the latter) to improve the quality of the grapes and the wine coming from them. Now his wines are starting to get noticed and we are proud to welcome him as our first non French winemaker. His oak-aged 2005 red, cuvée 'La
Source', was the second ranked Cotes du Ventoux in the recent 'La Revue des Vins de France' Rhone edition earlier this month and we can see why. |

2007 DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARDS
2ND BEST VENTOUX RED WINNER
If only every wine we tracked down was this good! James King (yes he is an Englishman) left the rat race behind and bought himself 20 acres of run down vineyards in the southern Rhone. Within a few years his top red has been voted the 2nd best Ventoux red wine. This is a very smooth, well structured wine with lovely red fruits and spice.
Drink: Now to 2011
Drink with: Red meats, BBQ, semi soft cheeses
