Paul Jaboulet Aîné is an iconic producer in the Rhône Valley. Founded in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet (father of Paul), it was Paul’s son Louis and grandson Gérard who have been among the great ambassadors for both the region and the négociant. Caroline Frey, daughter of owner Jean-Jacques Frey, became winemaking in 2006. She immediately began converting the estate to sustainable farming, achieving organic certification in 2016. In 2022, Jean-Guillaume Prats, of Bordeaux fame, was brought onboard.
Under Caroline’s stewardship the estate has returned to the top ranks in Hermitage thanks to her meticulous skills and attention to detail in the vineyards and winery. In total, Jaboulet owns 120 hectares of organically farmed vines across the Northern Rhône, including Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Condrieu, Cornas. While many of their excellent reds are Syrah based, they also grow Rhône varieties including Grenache and Mourvedre, while whites include Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.
