✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the elegant cypress trees that dot the Mediterranean landscape and serve as vital windbreaks against the fierce Mistral wind, 'Les Cyprès' is a beautifully crafted red wine from the historic house of Paul Jaboulet Aîné. Sourced from select vineyards in the southern Rhône Valley, this cuvée pays tribute to the traditional viticulture of the region where these majestic trees protect the delicate vines. The wine is a classic southern Rhône blend, typically dominated by Grenache and Syrah, grown on soils rich in clay, limestone, and stony galets. Vinified with the same meticulous care that Jaboulet applies to its legendary crus, 'Les Cyprès' undergoes traditional fermentation in stainless steel and concrete vats to preserve its vibrant, sun-drenched fruit character, resulting in a wine that captures the warm, herbaceous charm of the garrigue.

Since 2006, the maison has entered a dynamic era under the leadership of the Frey family, with viticulturist and winemaker Caroline Frey converting the prized terroirs entirely to organic and biodynamic cultivation.
