Description
Paul Jaboulet Aîné Thalabert is one of the classic wines in the Jaboulet range. From the flat Crozes Hermitage area in Northern Rhone, Domaine de Thalabert is a consistently brilliant example of structured Northern Rhône Syrah, with lovely soft red fruits, hints of blueberries and plums backed up with inky and spicy notes. The easy tannins are balanced and ripe, there’s excellent freshness and length. A really lovely dry red wine that is highly recommended and is very good value at the price.
One of the most iconic names in the world of wine. The original Jaboulet business was set up in 1834, when Antoine Jaboulet opened in Tain l’Hermitage – and purchased his first vineyards on the classic Hermitage slopes and the Crozes Hermitage plains. Since then, much has changed, most notably in recent history when the Frey family, who own Chateau La Lagune in Bordeaux, took over Paul Jaboulet Aine in 2006. The wines have had a noticeable lift in quality – and we are pleased to list a range of their stunning red wines and white wines from all over the great Rhone Valley, including Cote Rotie, Condrieu, Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage. All estates are now certified organic and the team broadly follow biodynamic principles.
