Paul Jaboulet Crozes Hermitage Les Jalets Rouge 2023 is a classic Northern Rhône Syrah that reflects both heritage and precision winemaking. Produced by Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné, a house founded in 1834 and now led by the Frey family, this wine is rooted in a deep respect for terroir and long term sustainability. Under the direction of Caroline Frey, the vineyards have been certified organic since 2016 and fully biodynamically farmed since 2021, with a strong regenerative approach that supports biodiversity and soil health across the estate.
Sourced from the Crozes Hermitage appellation, Les Jalets Rouge captures the character of Syrah grown on varied soils, bringing together structure, fruit, and subtle complexity. There is a clear sense of balance throughout, with careful vineyard work and thoughtful vinification allowing the grape and site to express themselves without excess intervention.
In the glass, the wine shows an inviting intensity, led by bright cherry and fresh black fruit aromas that feel both vibrant and focused. The palate follows with a fuller body and well defined tannins, giving the wine shape and presence without making it heavy. There is a gentle layer of roasted character that adds depth and interest, supporting the fruit rather than dominating it. The finish is long and composed, leaving a lasting impression of both structure and finesse.
A structured and expressive Northern Rhône Syrah with fresh dark fruit, refined tannins, and a long, balanced finish.
