✨ Technical Specifications
Paying tribute to the passing of the torch within the Frey family, 'De Père en Filles' (From Father to Daughters) celebrates the transition of this historic Rhône estate to winemaker Caroline Frey and her sisters. This cuvée is a vibrant expression of the Southern Rhône, sourced from organically farmed vineyards. It captures the warmth of the region with a modern, elegant precision. Fermented in stainless steel and aged carefully to preserve its bright fruit character, the wine offers a beautiful balance of rich heritage and forward-looking sustainable viticulture.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet on the sun-drenched granite slopes of Tain-l'Hermitage, Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné stands as one of the Rhône Valley's most storied viticultural estates. Acquired in 2006 by the Frey family, the domain experienced a profound renaissance under the stewardship of master oenologist and viticulturist Caroline Frey, who converted its extensive Northern Rhône holdings to certified organic viticulture alongside rigorous biodynamic regimens. While globally renowned for its legendary Hermitage reds like La Chapelle, the estate crafts equally sublime white wines from premier terroirs spanning Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Condrieu, and the Southern Rhône. Here, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc are harvested at meticulous phenolic maturity from complex alluvial pebbles, loess, and fractured granitic soils. Vinified with gentle gravity flow, temperature-regulated fermentation, and judicious French oak contact on fine lees, Jaboulet whites—exemplified by Chevalier de Stérimberg, Domaine de Thalabert Mule Blanche, and Les Jalets Blanc—deliver exceptional minerality, textural waxiness, and refined age-worthy precision.
