Paul Jaboulet Aîné Wines

Sort By:

Paul Jaboulet Aîné 1997 La Chapelle Red (Hermitage)

Price $100

A wine that sells for around $100 a value? Yes, when it has the pedigree of La Chapelle and the intensity of this particular wine. The best wine to come from Jaboulet since the awe-inspiring 1990. And yes, in these days of newly released $250+ first-growth Bordeaux, a value. — W.E. (11/15/1999)

Paul Jaboulet Aîné 1999 La Chapelle Red (Hermitage)

Price $131

Jaboulet’s view of its most famous wine seems to have changed. Although the concentrated, dense tannins and big black fruit flavors are still there, it has lost the huge brooding presence of past vintages, and now has a veneer of sophistication with superripe fruit, plums and dark jam tastes. Whether this 1999 will age as well as older vintages remains to be seen… — R.V. (6/1/2002)

Paul Jaboulet Aîné 1999 Chevalier de Sterimberg White (Hermitage)

Price $75

Jaboulet’s white Hermitage is named after the crusading knight who built and settled in the small chapel on the Hermitage hill. The wine itself is powerful, rich and concentrated, with heady perfumes of wild flowers and nuts. The palate combines a hint of wood, a full-bodied, oily texture and a stunning burst of acidity that leaves a crisp aftertaste. — R.V. (6/1/2002)

Paul Jaboulet Aîné 2005 La Chapelle Syrah (Hermitage)

Cellar Selection

Price $215

A big step up from Jaboulet’s La Petite Chapelle, this is on a par with some of Jaboulet’s past efforts. It’s richly concentrated, yet nuanced, with notes of blood and mineral added to ripe cassis fruit and accented by hints of vanilla and spice. The tannins form an almost creamy texture in the mouth, and the finish lingers a good long time. Drink 2012–2025. — J.C. (9/1/2007)

Paul Jaboulet Aîné 2007 Le Chevalier de Sterimberg White (Hermitage)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $85

Jaboulet's white Hermitage is a huge success in 2007, boasting somewhat restrained aromas of pineapple, but tremendous structure and length. It's full-bodied, with a finish laced with crushed stone and citrus. Try it around 2017. — J.C. (4/1/2010)

Paul Jaboulet Aîné 1999 Domaine de Saint-Pierre Red (Cornas)

Price $40

Jaboulet bought this 7.3-acre estate in 1998, and this is the first full vintage. It is a huge wine, with all the true inky blackness and density of a Cornas. Firm, dry and concentrated, it also has generous ripe black plums, a hint of sweet jelly. It makes an excellent mix of the traditional foursquare Cornas style, with modern sophistication. — R.V. (6/1/2002)

Paul Jaboulet Aîné 1996 La Chapelle Red (Hermitage)

Price $80

What wonders lie beneath the surface of this tight-as-a-drum baby. Thick as a brick and barely revealing its charm now, this is a wine for the cellar. Monstrous oak is absorbed by the heft of the wine and enviable structure. Will almost certainly become brighter as the years go by. — M.S. (10/1/1999)

Paul Jaboulet Aîné 2007 Domaine de Roure Syrah (Crozes-Hermitage)

Price $80

Not a typical Crozes-Hermitage, Jaboulet’s Domaine de Roure is a showcase for what the appellation is capable of. In this vintage, it’s a full-bodied yet not overly structured wine, with a huge Syrah nose of meat, pepper, plum and baking spices and lingering espresso and black olives on the finish. Drink now–2020. — J.C. (8/1/2011)
