Paul Jaboulet Aîné is a significant player in the Rhône Valley wine scene and has been for generation after generation, offering a range of wines that showcase the region’s diverse terroirs and grape varieties.

The winery is particularly renowned for its wines from the Northern Rhône, including Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, and Cornas. These wines are primarily based on Syrah.

Caroline Frey, the famous Bordeaux winemaker who also owns Chateau La Lagune amongst others, has done wonders for the Paul Jaboulet estate since she took over back in 2006. She came in and immediately put an emphasis on the winemaking process, the equipment and the vineyard practices, and as you can read below, all the critics are unanimous in their praise of her renovations.

“Since the Frey family purchased this historic firm in January 2006, the winemaking process and equipment have gone through a series of dramatic changes. Now, I feel the team, winery and various terroirs are finally operating smoothly as a whole, and the recent releases are among the best Paul Jaboulet Aîné wines ever produced. Caroline Frey says that’s because the biodynamic practices are finally paying big dividends in the domaine vineyards. No doubt that has played a role, but the winemaking here has also adapted over time, paying less homage to Bordeaux and becoming more Burgundian/Rhônish in style.” -Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
