The vineyard
Unique terroirs, old vines, and a passion passed down from generation to generation.
A legacy cultivated with passion
For several generations, Domaine Albin Jacumin has cultivated its vines with passion in the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. Spread across exceptional terroirs, the vineyard expresses the full richness and diversity of this iconic appellation.
Today, the estate covers :

Côtes du Rhône
Vin de France
Terroirs that shape our wines
A vineyard with diverse terroirs
The estate’s plots are distributed across the four corners of the appellation, in renowned lieux-dits such as Brusquières, Terres Blanches, Bois-Dauphin, Colombis, Tresquoys, Les Marines, Cabanes, Cansaud, Le Pointu, Pied de Baud, Galiguières, and Les Serres.
This mosaic of terroirs offers a remarkable diversity of soils, comprising rounded pebbles, red sandstone, and brown earth, set over a clay-limestone subsoil. Combined with the Mediterranean climate and the Mistral wind, these soils allow each grape variety to fully express its character. The average age of the vines is around 50 years, with yields intentionally limited to 25–30 hl/ha for the Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, prioritizing concentration, balance, and grape quality.
The expression of our grape varieties
Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Red
The traditional grape varieties of Châteauneuf-du-Pape make up our red wines, expressing the full richness of our terroir. Grenache, the dominant variety, lends power, roundness, and generosity. Mourvèdre provides structure and depth, Syrah offers color, aromatic finesse, and complexity, while Cinsault contributes suppleness and fruitiness.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape - White
The white grape varieties grown on the estate yield wines of great finesse and balance. Grenache Blanc contributes richness and intensity, Bourboulenc adds floral notes and lovely freshness, while Clairette rounds out the blend with its liveliness and elegance.
Côtes du Rhône - Red
On our plots in Courthézon (Les Bédines) and Sérignan-du-Comtat (Les Escarteyrades), we cultivate grape varieties suited to these sandy and gravelly terroirs. Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan combine to lend the wines their character, structure, and aromatic richness.
Vin de France - Rosé et Red
The grape varieties used for our red Vins de France and our rosé reflect the full diversity of our vineyard. Syrah contributes color, aromatic finesse, and richness, while Counoise adds freshness and elegance. Marselan rounds out the blend with its structure and depth, whereas Cinsault, also vinified as a single-varietal wine (100% Cinsault), brings suppleness, fruitiness, and delicacy.
