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
'Very good ruby-red color. Black cherry, licorice and a hint of olive on the nose; comes across as riper than the 2000 Cote-Rotie. Lush in the middle palate but shows an almost medicinal austerity of flavor today. Finishes with rather fine tannins and good length.' (87-89)
STEPHEN TANZER'S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR 02/2002
“Roasted berries, black cherry and licorice on the nose, with some herbal and medicinal elements. Reasonably rich on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity, but seems a bit green for the year, with modest complexity.' (87)

1998
'Deep red-ruby. Aromatic nose combines black cherry, woodsmoke, tobacco, olive, leather and flint. Juicy, fresh and nicely delineated; not as broad or fat as the '99 but perhaps finer. Finishes with firm tannic grip and subtle persistence.' (89)

1997
'Red-ruby. Aromatic nose of plum, redcurrant, black olive and fresh blood. Supple, pliant, juicy and fairly large-scaled; more harmonious today than the '98 example despite being quite young. The juicy quality carries through onto the long, ripely tannic finish. Late notes of iron and leather.' (89)
STEPHEN TANZER’S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR 02/2001
'Very deep, opaque ruby-purple. Roasted game, meat, and mineral aromas. Full-bodied, rich, and rustic with big, drying tannins. Chunky and intense. Drink now or later.” (90)
THE JOURNAL OF THE BEVERAGE TASTING INSTITUTE WINTER ISSUE 2000
1996
'A crafty, powerful, tannic but fruit-packed Cornas, showing wild berry, cassis, wet earth, olive, tar and pepper. Incredibly interesting even if it’s not the smoothest wine, this is fruit galore in a full-bodied package. Lay it down and it should bloom. Best from 2005 through 2010. ' (89)
