Description
A balanced and aromatic Côte-Rôtie wine
The estate
Paul Jaboulet-Aîné, the infamous reference among Northern Rhône Valley wines, was founded in 1834 in Tain L'Hermitage. The renowned oenologist and winemaker, Caroline Frey, has been running this illustrious house, owned by the Frey family, since 2006. Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné watches over 125 hectares of vines that spread over exceptional appellations such as Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Cornas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise.
The vineyard
Domaine des Pierrelles by Paul Jaboulet-Aîné is a Côte-Rôtie wine made from a 1.5-hectare terroir located within the historic vineyards of the appellation. The vines are approximately 20 to 30 years old and are planted on a soil composed of decaying mica schist.
The vintage
A mild winter, favouring an early budding of the vines, preceded a warm spring with regular rainfall. The flowering period was homogeneous and very good quality. July was hot and dry. The harvest took place under very good conditions and enabled the teams to harvest very healthy grapes.
Vinification and ageing
The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted in the vineyard. Vatting for around 4 weeks with gentle extractions. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new.
The blend
Domaine des Pierrelles 2020 by Paul Jaboulet-Aîné is a 100% Syrah.
