Paul Jaboulet Aîné has been a trend-setting in the Rhône Valley since 1834. Jaboulet was founded by Antoine Jaboulet, and his twin sons, Paul and Henri continued to expand the family business. The older son (“aîné” in French), Paul, established the company in its present form and gave it his own name. Since then, the company has been run by successive generations of sons from that side of the Jaboulet family.
Today, it is owned by Caroline Frey (Chateau La Lagune) who continues the amazing tradition of excellence across a number of different regions and dozens of vineyards owned by this great winery. Their flagship wine, the La Chapelle Hermitage has been called one of the greatest red wines in all of the world.
But, if you’re looking for a stellar wine to pair with turkey or pizza or whatever, you’re probably not thinking Chateauneuf-du-Pape, especially with the $50+ price tags that most good ones command these days. However, if what draws you to CdP is the complex aromatics and mouth-watering acidity that you find in great Grenache, then today’s Gigondas from Jaboulet accomplishes all of that in spades and for at least half the price of most CdPs you’ll find this good.

The 2017 Gigondas Pierre Aiguille combines hints of Mexican chocolate and red raspberries in a full-bodied, silky-textured wine. It’s ripe yet chewy, with attractive hints of orange zest and licorice on the long finish. It’s 80% Grenache, with 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah.
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Plummy cassis and black cherry flavors are rich and rounded in this open-knit blend of 80% grenache, 10% mourvedre and 10% syrah sourced from stony red-clay terraces. It’s concentrated in fruit but seductively earthen too, offering hints of dusty mineral, smoke and peppery spice. The long finish is marked by ripe, fine tipped tannins. At peak now-2027.

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
