This is the Cotes-du-Rhone that made Jaboulet a household name in France, generous and remarkably consistent since its first release in 1950, from a house otherwise famous for Hermitage La Chapelle. Grenache leads, joined by Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan and a little Marselan, grown on clay-limestone soils covered in the big rounded galets that store the day's heat and release it back overnight. Most of the varieties are co-fermented together; the Syrah is handled separately with a gentle three-week maceration to draw out color and spice without hard extraction. Aging is six months in stainless steel and truncated cone vats on fine lees, and the farming is organic, so nothing here gets sanded down by new oak. Open it for a Tuesday roast chicken or a pot of beans and sausage — it was built for the table, not the cellar.

More about Paul Jaboulet Aine

Paul Jaboulet Ainé has been producing Northern Rhone wines for a respectable period of nearly 200 years. They have a large negociant business (making wine from various AOCs with purchased grapes), but also own a whopping 22 hectares of their own land in Hermitage. Their largest plot is in Le Meal, where they have about 30% of their Hermitage vines.

Their signature wine is one of the world’s most iconic wines: “La Chapelle” Hermitage. La Chapelle is simply a trade name that refers to St. Christopher. The wine is a blend of Le Meal, Bessards, Greffieux and another top vineyard site Roucoules. La Chapelle from vintages like 1961, 1978 and 1990 are considered some of the greatest red wines ever made.

Blackberry and red plum with black pepper, dried herbs and a hint of licorice. Medium-bodied and dry, with soft tannins and moderate acidity. Juicy and warm through a clean finish.
