Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Among the hillsides of Hermitage in 1834, Antoine Jaboulet began to work on its fertile land, putting in every effort in aims to produce exceptional wines through his meticulously kept vines. Since then, generations have followed in his path, succeeding one year after another leading us to 2006, when the property was acquired by the Frey family. With a deep-rooted history in wine, owners of Château La Lagune in Bordeaux, the Frey family continues Jaboulet’s passion for excellence. Under the leadership of Caronline Frey, the winery and vineyards have gone through some revamping, one of the most beneficial being the transformation to sustainable farming. With just about 121-hectares sprinkled across the Rhône valley, their northern plots in Côtes du Rhône produce Syrah, while their Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier grounds are devoted to white wine growth. Jaboulet’s flagship, the Hermitage La Chapelle is the greatest wine ever made at this estate, with the Hermitage La Petite Chapelle coming in at a close second.
