"The 2021 Grenache Jemrose Vineyard is laced with crushed red berry fruit, spice, mint, white pepper, dried rose petal and chalk. Gracious and floral, with terrific energy, the 2021 has so much to offer. This ethereal, haunting Grenache is impeccably rendered." —Antonio Galloni

More about Jolie-Laide

Jolie-Laide means "pretty-ugly," and there's something gloriously contrary about Scott and Jenny Schultz's tiny California winery. They hunt forgotten Old World grapes—Trousseau, Gamay, Melon de Bourgogne—and coax them into wines with serious acidity and purity. Low-intervention, high-reward.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Bowler Wine has to say about this wine:

Located in the southeast corner of Bennett Valley, Jemrose Vineyard consists of rolling hillsides surrounded on the south, east and west by Sonoma Mountain. Cool coastal fog and breezes creep into the area from the southwest of the valley creating a cooler region for Rhone varieties to grow. The vineyard is planted predominantly on steep hillsides with elevations ranging from 500-650 feet in rocky volcanic loam soils. Grapes are foot crushed upon arrival and naturally fermented all whole cluster then aged in neutral barrique.

Tasting Profile

Grenache with red fruit, spice, and herb aromatics. Medium body with silky tannins, cherry, strawberry, and white-pepper flavors with mineral undertones. Balanced, elegant finish.

We’ve been huge fans of Scott Schultz’s wines ever since we first tried his Trousseau Gris some years back. From the beginning, his wines had poise and a level of finesse and precision rarely seen in a young winemaker. He’s continually expanded his portfolio to include a range of whites and reds, and we’ve never had one we didn’t like. Besides the wine being amazing, Scott also adorns bottles with new and rather lovely artwork every year.

Jolie-Laide is a one-man operation based in Sebastopol. His first vintage Scott made 500 cases of wine a year and has slowly ramped that up to about 2400 cases today. The name Jolie-Laide translates loosely to “Pretty-Ugly”, a French term of endearment to describe something that is unconventionally beautiful. Scott’s unique and highly sought-after wines live up to their name.

Scott’s passion for wine was ignited when he moved to Napa from Chicago in 2007. Having had extensive experience in the restaurant business, he switched gears upon his arrival in California to lead the wine program at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon. Working as cellar master as well as Pax Mahle’s assistant winemaker are a few of Scott’s many achievements. He and Pax both share a winemaking space and similar philosophies in discovering unconventional beauty. Scott Schultz does what he loves, and he does it well.

Scott's philosophy of discovering unconventional beauty led him to work with some of our state’s rarest varieties. Homogeneity often leads to mediocrity and he has steered well clear of that. Whether it's his fresh and electric Valdiguie or his exceptionally complex pinot gris, every wine seems to have a sense of place and time. They are both unique and “new” yet somehow speak to an era long gone. An era when California wasn’t an ocean of Pinot, Cabernet and Chardonnay vines and the wines were light on their feet and unpretentiously delicious.
