✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the historic Crozes-Hermitage appellation in the northern Rhône, 'Mule Blanche' pays a poetic tribute to the white mules that historically labored alongside vignerons, navigating the steep, stony terraces to haul harvested grapes. This organic and biodynamic white wine is crafted from vines grown on alluvial soils rich in shingles, clay, and limestone. To balance richness with vibrant acidity, Paul Jaboulet Aîné vinifies and ages the wine in a combination of French oak demi-muids and concrete eggs. The result is a beautifully textured white, marked by white flower aromas, stone fruit, and a distinctive mineral finish that reflects its unique terroir.
