✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic northern Rhône valley, 'Les Carrières' by the legendary house of Paul Jaboulet Aîné is a masterful expression of Crozes-Hermitage. The cuvée draws its name from the ancient stone quarries ('carrières') that dot the local landscape, where the vines dig deep into limestone-rich, stony soils. Founded in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet, the estate has spent nearly two centuries perfecting the expression of Syrah in these terroirs. This wine is crafted from 100% Syrah, showcasing the grape's signature dark fruit, cracked black pepper, and violet aromas, underpinned by a distinct chalky minerality derived from its unique soil profile. Traditional vinification and careful aging in French oak barrels yield a wine that beautifully balances rustic Northern Rhône power with elegant, terroir-driven finesse.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné blev grundlagt i 1834 af Antoine Jaboulet og er en af Rhône-dalens mest hæderkronede vingårde, beliggende på de sagnomspundne skråninger ved Tain-l'Hermitage. Siden 2006 har huset oplevet en dynamisk renæssance under Frey-familiens ledelse, hvor vinmager Caroline Frey har omlagt de legendariske terroirs til komplet økologisk og biodynamisk dyrkning. Huset er verdensberømt for sine skoledannende Rhône-vine – anført af den mytiske Hermitage 'La Chapelle' og den ikoniske 'Domaine de Thalabert' Crozes-Hermitage, suppleret af livlige Côtes du Rhône-aftapninger som den velkendte 'Parallèle 45'-serie. Ved at forene millimeterpræcist kælderarbejde med en kompromisløs tilgang til biodiversitet i hver enkelt parcel skaber Paul Jaboulet Aîné strukturerede, gemmeværdige Syrah-vine samt elegante, aromatiske hvidvine, der på smukkeste vis indkapsler regionens grand cru-arv.
