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.

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!

Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
