✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Les Grandes Terrasses is a masterful expression of Cornas, a legendary Northern Rhône appellation known for its dramatic, sun-drenched granite amphitheaters. The name itself pays homage to the dizzyingly steep, stone-walled terraces carved into the hillsides, where Syrah vines must cling to the decomposed granite soils, locally called gore. Historically, Cornas was highly prized by French royalty, and Jaboulet's rendition captures this rugged, majestic heritage. Crafted from 100% Syrah harvested entirely by hand due to the extreme slopes, the wine undergoes traditional vinification and is aged in oak barrels to soften its powerful, wild character. It reveals the classic Cornas signature of dark bramble fruit, cracked black pepper, smoked meats, and an intense mineral drive, representing a perfect bridge between rustic power and modern refinement.
🍾 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.
