2017 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Gigondas Pierre Aiguille
£25.00
“The 2017 Gigondas Pierre Aiguille combines hints of Mexican chocolate and red raspberries in a full-bodied, silky-textured wine. It’s ripe yet chewy, with attractive hints of orange zest and licorice on the long finish. It’s 80% Grenache, with 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah.”
92 Points, Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate
“Plummy cassis and black-cherry flavors are rich and rounded in this open-knit blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah sourced from stony red-clay terraces. It’s concentrated in fruit but seductively earthen too, offering hints of dusty mineral, smoke and peppery spice. The long finish is marked by ripe, fine-tipped tannins.”
92 Points, Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast

Product Description
Founded in 1834 on the hill of l’Hermitage in Tain l’Hermitage, the Paul Jaboulet Aîné house oversees an exceptional heritage that brings together the most famous terroirs of the Rhone valley and produces quintessential great wines.
When the Frey family acquired Jaboulet in 2006, Caroline Frey took charge of winemaking with a clear mission: restore the estate’s greatness while embracing environmental responsibility. She initiated a complete conversion to organic farming, achieving certification in 2016, and introduced biodynamic practices across Hermitage vineyards. Today, every plot is managed using regenerative viticulture, which enhances soil health and biodiversity. In the cellar, traditional methods meet modern precision: gravity-fed systems, meticulous sorting and tailored oak ageing ensure purity and balance in every wine. This philosophy has returned Jaboulet to the top tier of Rhône producers.
