I was talking with one importer from San Francisco and they carry Jaboulet family (original) I guess descendants and supposedly they still produce their own wine from some of their own vineyards. Guess they still have control of some exclusive original plots. Under another Jaboulet label. Not sure the whole story.
I have some St-Joseph’s, Cote Roties and CDP’s of other producers.
Some of the older CDP’s were quite magical and on par with well aged Burgundies.
