2020 vintage. Jaboulet is on a high ever since Caroline Frey took over, as exemplified by this bright, energetic entry level white Crozes-Hermitage. Highly recommended. — 4 days ago
2015 vintage. This is a red Savigny-lès-Beaune, so Pinot Noir from the " Monopole" vineyard " Clos des Guettotes". Château Corton-André was bought in 2014 by the Frey family and the name changed into Château Corton C. A good start for Caroline Frey (also Château La Lagune and Paul Jaboulet Ainé) with this delicious elegant Savigny with impeccable balance and velvety mouthfeel. Abv. 13%. — 3 days ago
2020 vintage. Another winner from Jaboulet and a great example of this under-the-radar northern Rhône appellation. Peaches, flowers and subtle spices. Crisp fruit and good almondy length and a hint of fresh mint. — 3 days ago
2020 vintage. Bordeaux meets Rhône in this original blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from La Lagune and Syrah from Jaboulet. Needs some time, so decant or give it 15 minutes in the glass. Black fruit ( blackberries, cassis) intertwined with Provence spices. Juicy and spicy, with complexity and very good length. Highly recommended. Abv. 13,5 %. — 4 days ago
Needs hours for appreciation. Such a tightly wound wine after first decant has grown into a long finished well structured wine. Started off with almost imperceptible fruit. Smoke and wood and very black fruit introduced itself after the first hour. As impossible as it is, the acidity seemed to grow and develop over the hours. It eventually transformed into well developed flavors of blackberry, cassis, and loamy forest floor flavors. Truly an experience. — 6 days ago
First bottle was corked, second was on point! — 16 days ago
Dark tawny color, almost opaque. Notes of black cherry, earth and dirt, along with some herbs. Masculine in its approach. Tannins still present. Notes of pepper and unsweetened chocolate also appear. Guesses were all over the map with this one... nobody could find the continent nor grape varietals. I was in 60's Cal Cab land. — 10 months ago

2021 vintage. "Mule Blanche" is Jaboulet's white flagship Crozes-Hermitage, a blend of Marsanne and Roussanne from 40 years old estate vineyards. Expressive nose bursting with white fruit, flowers and fresh herbs. Bright and crisp fruit with mouthwatering acidity and a distinctive minerality. Very long minty finish. Hard to resist now, but should age well. Abv. 13% . — a day ago
