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.

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.

This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”

Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
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.
