Philippe and Vincent Jaboulet farm their Crozes-Hermitage vineyards with a level of care associated with Hermitage. Their parcels sit on the northern side of the appellation, where stony alluvial soils and patches of clay give Syrah freshness. The domaine works organically and harvests entirely by hand, vinifying with native yeasts and aging the wine in a minimal amount of oak to keep the fruit and the structure at the forefront.
Nouvelère is their flagship Crozes, sourced from older vines that naturally produce smaller berries and concentrated fruit. The 2019 vintage shows dark plum, blackberry and blackcurrant layered with pepper, violets and a touch of smoked herbs. The palate is structured yet polished, with firm but integrated tannins and acidity that carries the wine through a savory finish. It is a confident Crozes-Hermitage that offers the clarity of northern Rhône Syrah in a vintage that brought ripeness and definition.
Varietal: Syrah
Appellation: Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, France
Farming: Certified organic
Style: Red. Structured, aromatic and substantial
