(1323 views) | | | Tasted by AnytimeWineTime on 5/21/2020 & rated 78 points: S: musky, potting soil, old wood
T: spicy black pepper, raisin, prunes
Harsh finish. Rough around the edges. Then finishes out with some stewed fruit. Meh. Probably would be better if it decanted for 2 hrs or more. (1592 views) | | | Tasted by JNebs on 12/20/2019 & rated 87 points: Pepper, plum, and red fruits over racy acidity and fine tannins. Medium finish with lingering bitterness. Reasonably balanced. (1783 views) | | | Tasted by vinhslee on 11/23/2019 & rated 92 points: Fresh strawberries, rapsberries, blueberries, white pepper, plum, cassis, licorice, vanilla and well judged oak. Sometimes straight forward and refreshing flavours is all you need. (1569 views) | | | Tasted by Augie1213 on 9/19/2019 & rated 70 points: Doft: Svavel och knallpulver.
Smak: viol, blå blommor och björnbär med peppar i slutet. Bättre dag 2 då kommer lite lakrits fram.
Köper inte igen. (1590 views) | | | Tasted by 87tellub on 8/28/2019 & rated 89 points: PnP from a 375. Medium to dark purple in the glass. Nose has bright red fruit and pie crust, the latter disappears after the tasting pour. Almost medium body. Good vibrancy. The fruit has a sappy quality to it. Structured nicely with some bite. This is good. (1007 views) | | | Tasted by FransS on 8/22/2019 & rated 88 points: The advantage of the superb vintage in the South, the bio vineyards and of course the skills of the house. A super fresh fruit with bramble and raspberries, lots of the same fresh fruit in the juicy taste and a ripe citrus backbone; lovely finish, of course. This wine makes you cheerful; four days in the fridge and no decline in quality. (778 views) | | | Tasted by JumpingRick on 7/12/2019 & rated 79 points: Un bon passe partout à un rapport qualité/prix excellent (680 views) | | | Tasted by the.vino.vibe on 6/26/2019 & rated 89 points: Deep reddish purple in color and very light bodied. Strawberry, blueberry, and black spice notes on the nose and tongue. Medium to high acidity that is almost offset by the fruit. Short finish. A good QPR at 12.99/bottle. 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. 14% ABV. 89 pts. (851 views) | | | Tasted by afields on 4/7/2019: Nose is seductive blue fruit and blue flowers with just a trace of pepper. The palate has a little more going on (with some more savory, even slightly meaty, notes under the fruit and flowers, although these seem to disappear with time), though still much more about obvious pleasure than nuance or structure. A little sweet though never syrupy and there are some fine grained, mildly drying tannins. M body, M- acid, M to M- tannin. Not terribly balanced or composed but easy to like in that typically Côtes-du-Rhône way, and with time and air it does settle into a better balance. On the sweet and forward side of CdR style, not a lot of earth or spice, not complex, but good. In terms of structure, balance, complexity this is average qpr, but if you love that blue fruit/flowers character as much as I do you’ll find this easily worth the price. 6.6/10 (724 views) |

U.S. Importer (?) (Addt'l Info)
Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the most prestigious producers in the Rhone, notably in Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage. The earliest record of the Jaboulet family producing wine is from 1834, and the eventual house of Paul Jaboulet Aîné remained in Jaboulet family ownership until 2006. It was then sold to the Frey family, proprieters of Ch La Lagune in Bordeaux, and numerous other vineyards.
Frey obtained the famous brand names such as Hermitage "La Chapelle" and Crozes Hermitage "Domaine de Thalabert", but not all of the vineyards historically used for producing those wines. Notably the vineyard used to produce Crozes Hermitage "Domaine de Thalabert" - a vineyard historically known as Les Grandes Vignes - was split, with part remaining under the control of Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet. Nevertheless Frey succeeded in restoring the reputation of Paul Jaboulet Aîné which had fallen away during the 1990s.
Domaine de Raymond Roure is a 3.5ha Crozes Hermitage vineyard high on the back of the Hermitage hill which Jaboulet acquired in 1996. The red now sells at a premium to Thalabert and is the wine for longer keeping.
Paul Jaboulet Aîné owns parcels of vines in several Rhone appellations both north and south, and produces an extensive range of both estate bottled and négociant wines.Red Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
