Sur le terroir de Côte-Rôtie, la maison Jaboulet réserve pour ses syrahs un élevage tout en finesse. Une garde d'une dizaine d'années serait appréciable. More info
In its two hectares of Côte Brune and Côte Blonde vineyards, Maison Paul Jaboulet Ainé produces a refined, delicate Côte-Rôtie. The Syrah grape takes advantage the specific character of these two parcels: one composed of silica and limestone (the Côte Blonde), the other clay and iron oxide (the Côte Brune). The wine is matured for 12 months in oak barrels, with 20% new barrels used. The bouquet is floral, offering notes of red berries or even violet. On the palate, the finish is long, beautiful and harmonious.

Antoine Jaboulet set up his winemaking business Tain-l’Hermitage in 1834. He was succeeded by his sons, Paul and Henri, who in turn passed the baton to Paul’s son Louis. Next came Louis’s son Gérard and then, in 1997, Gérard’s cousin, Michel Jaboulet. He ran the domain until 2006 when it was bought by the Frey Group, which also owns vineyards in Champagne and Bordeaux (Château la Lagune). The heritage is nothing short of exceptional: 125 hectares of vines, including 25 gracing the slopes of the famous Hermitage Hill, the second-largest vineyard on this prestigious terrain. Several other remarkable appellations complete the selection: Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu. Today, with oenologist Caroline Frey at the helm, this already well-established estate, is confidently regaining its outstanding status. In 2013, Maison Jaboulet officially converted its vineyards to organic practices. By 2015, the domain received “High Environmental Value” certification. Accreditations aside, the domain’s ambition to elevate the unique characteristics of the diverse Rhône terroirs remains unchanged. It achieves this goal by preserving the quality of the fruit, through meticulous vinification, and attentive ageing.
