✨ Technical Specifications
Paul Jaboulet A''n''s Secret de Famille Rouge is an approachable and vibrant expression of the Rh""ne''s signature red grape, crafted to showcase the house''s historic blending expertise. Sourced from select vineyards across the region, this cuv''e is a tribute to the ancestral winemaking secrets passed down through generations of the Jaboulet family. To preserve its bright, fruit-forward character and classic peppery spice, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete vats, followed by gentle aging. The result is a beautifully balanced, terroir-driven red that captures the lively spirit of the Rh""ne Valley in an accessible, everyday style.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet on the sun-drenched granite slopes of Tain-l'Hermitage, Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné stands as one of the Rhône Valley's most storied viticultural estates. Acquired in 2006 by the Frey family, the domain experienced a profound renaissance under the stewardship of master oenologist and viticulturist Caroline Frey, who converted its extensive Northern Rhône holdings to certified organic viticulture alongside rigorous biodynamic regimens. While globally renowned for its legendary Hermitage reds like La Chapelle, the estate crafts equally sublime white wines from premier terroirs spanning Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Condrieu, and the Southern Rhône. Here, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc are harvested at meticulous phenolic maturity from complex alluvial pebbles, loess, and fractured granitic soils. Vinified with gentle gravity flow, temperature-regulated fermentation, and judicious French oak contact on fine lees, Jaboulet whites—exemplified by Chevalier de Stérimberg, Domaine de Thalabert Mule Blanche, and Les Jalets Blanc—deliver exceptional minerality, textural waxiness, and refined age-worthy precision.
