Vin Paul Jaboulet Aîné

Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné was created in 1834 through the magical conjunction of a fertile land on a hillside by the Rhone and a family passionate about winemaking. Over the years, the Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné took ownership of the finest appellations of the northern Rhone Valley, including Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage, of course, but also Saint-Joseph, Cornas and Saint-Peray, and later, Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu. In 2006, the Freys, a family long-standing in the Champagne region and owners of Château La Lagune in Bordeaux, took over the Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné. Caroline, the eldest daughter of the family, who has a degree in enology from Bordeaux, works with her teams using biodynamic methods in a single-minded quest for perfection. Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the Rhone’s most recognizable wineries today. The reputation of Jaboulet wines rests on the quality of the well-situated and well-tended vineyards, low yields, careful vinification, and diligent aging in oak casks. The Jaboulet family prefers carefully integrated oak aging, in which the influence of wood is never allowed to become excessive. http://www.jaboulet.com/
