Top qualities of the Paul Jaboulet wines

The top qualities of the Domaines from the northern Rhône, which remain as usual, leave no doubt about the success of this collaboration! The terroirs remain outstanding, the yields have been reduced. The grapes from nearly 100 hectares of vineyards are vinified with the utmost care, prudence and rigor, together with Caroline Frey, a qualified oenologist. The wines are aged in the Vineum, the thousand-year-old cellar with its Gallo-Roman galleries. The flagship of the house is the legendary Hermitage La Chapelle, whose 1961 vintage was named one of the twelve greatest wines of the 20th century.
