Saturday, November 6, 2021 - 2017 Paul Jabouilet Aine vs. 2017 JLC Hermitage Both in 1.5L format.
Paired with Beef Bourguignon which was a perfect match!
Both bottles very approachable at PNP. Our dinner party gave the edge to the JLC as it was more focused and refined. Both are killer bottles in their own right and would not hesitate to add both producers to the cellar. 2017 is offering some early windows on wines that typically need 10 years plus of bottle age. 2017 is offering some early windows on wines that typically need 10 years plus of bottle age.

When we did our tasting 6 weeks ago, the Rhone varietals (the Astralis, which, although Australian, drank as much like a N. Rhone as a typical Aus Shiraz, and the grenache-dominant Pegau) were better accompaniments to the bouef Bourgogne than the Cal cabs and Bordeaux blends, IMO.
