Every year, a wine is born from the vineyards of Paul Jaboulet; a wine with a character that is shaped by nature, the sun and the rain.
This is what makes our wine unique every year. Vintage by vintage, we invite you to discover what our vineyards provide us with.

2000
'Red-ruby. Sappy, liqueur-like aromas of red fruits and milk chocolate. Fat, layered and sweet; this sample seemed almost as rich as Jaboulet's 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape. Finishes with a late hit of pepper.' (87-88)
STEPHEN TANZER'S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR 02/2002
1999
Robe :
Grenat soutenue aux reflets violines, avec de belles larmes denses.
Nez :
Aromatique de petits fruits rouges mêlés d’épices comme le poivre ou la coriandre, avec quelques notes réglissées, et grillées en finale.
Bouche :
Attaque souple et chaleureuse, avec une bonne fraîcheur et des tanins biens serrés. La fin de bouche est chaude et épicée.
COMMENTAIRE OFFICIEL DE LA MAISON PAUL JABOULET AÎNE - DEGUSTATION JANVIER 2002
'Medium red. Roasted game dominates the nose. Smooth and supple, with good delineation and spice character, but less deep and complex than the young 2000. Tannins are smooth.' (86)
STEPHEN TANZER'S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR 02/2002
1998
'Inky, with deep fruit and a cinnamon note, this rich, even lush wine marries deep raspberry and cherry fruit with meaty Syrah notes and plenty of oak. From its appealing nose to its softy tannic finish, it is handsomely constructed. A wine that aims to please now and succeeds.' (88)
WINE ENTHUSIAST – 09/00
'Fatter, richer and more concentrated than the above. More black fruity. Very good structure. Very good grip. Ample and long. Fine for what it is. Better still in the year.'
CLIVE COATES MW – 07/2000
'Inky, with deep fruit and a cinnamon note, this rich wine marries raspberry and cherry fruit with meaty Syrah notes and plenty of oak. From its appealing nose to its softy tannic finish, it is handsomely constructed.' (88)
THE TOP 100 BEST BUYS OF THE YEAR 2000 WINE ENTHUSIAST MAGAZINE
'A great value that shows the potential of the '98 vintage in Southern Rhône. Hedonistic and dense, with smoke, red berry, mocha and black chocolate, this medium-bodied, medium intense, nicely oaked red makes for delightful drinking now through 2003.' (86)
WINE SPECTATOR 12/1999
1997
'Here's a very attractive ready-drinking French red which combines spicy, cool-area shiraz fruit with a soft, gentle, easy-drinking framework. The tannins don't assault the tongue. It's a lighter style and has a real touch of Gallic style. Not for long-keeping: drink now, perhaps with game birds such as quail.'
GOOD DRINKING-WINE HUON HOOKE THE SYDNEY MORNING GERALD – 04/00
1996
'Le Parallèle 45 est un rouge issu d’une sélection de syrah et de grenache noir, de couleur pourpre cardinalice, à qui l’équilibre des arômes, dans sa jeunesse, confère une réelle finesse. Aucun de ces deux cépages puissants ne domine l’assemblage. Il est probable que cette harmonie se maintiendra au-delà des sept à huit ans de garde auxquels un tel vin peut prétendre.'
