✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted as an homage to the blending secrets passed down through generations of the Jaboulet family, the 'Secret de Famille' Blanc is a beautifully balanced expression of the Rhône Valley's white winemaking tradition. This cuvée is designed to capture the vibrant, sun-drenched character of the region while maintaining a crisp, elegant backbone. By sourcing fruit from carefully selected parcels, the winemakers compose a harmonious blend that highlights the floral lift of Viognier, the texture of Grenache Blanc, and the structural honeyed notes of Marsanne and Roussanne. Vinified primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve its bright fruit profile and mineral tension, this wine offers a delightful entry into the historic house's portfolio, embodying the everyday art of French hospitality.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet, Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the most revered estates in the Rhône Valley, situated along the storied slopes of Tain-l'Hermitage. 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. The house is universally acclaimed for crafting benchmark Rhône expressions, most famously the legendary Hermitage 'La Chapelle' and the iconic 'Domaine de Thalabert' Crozes-Hermitage, alongside vibrant Côtes du Rhône cuvées like the 'Parallèle 45' range. Combining precision cellar craft with an unwavering commitment to parcel-specific biodiversity, Paul Jaboulet Aîné produces structured, age-worthy Syrahs and elegant, aromatic white wines that epitomize the grand cru heritage of the region.
