✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic house of Paul Jaboulet Aîné, founded in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet, this Côtes du Rhône Villages represents a step up in character and complexity from regional bottlings. Sourced from select villages in the Southern Rhône, the wine is shaped by the region's sun-drenched, stony clay-limestone terraces and the cooling influence of the legendary Mistral wind. It is typically a classic blend dominated by Grenache, which imparts rich red berry flavors and warmth, complemented by Syrah for structure, color, and a signature grind of black pepper. Vinified traditionally in temperature-controlled vats to preserve its vibrant fruit and soft, approachable tannins, this cuvée reflects the centuries-old winemaking heritage of one of the Rhône's most iconic producers.
🍾 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.
