The concept of Les Jamelles is unique for each grape variety is the ideal conditions found in an area that stretches from Nimes to Carcassonne, so its typicity is perfectly displayed as its original source. Since 1991 Les Jamelles is produced by Catherine and Laurent Delaunay. These are two young winemakers from Burgundy whose family has been producing wine for four generations. After their work in California, they both fell for the charms of the Languedoc-Roussillon region (southern France).
Throughout the year, especially during harvest periods, Catherine travels throughout the region and they visit all the producers who work with Les Jamelles. They coordinate the vinification process, the maturation of the wines and the production of the various blends.
Catherine is a real "maître", passionate about the art of wine tasting and on top of responsibility for the quality of each of the Les Jamelles wines.
