Maison Paul Jaboulet - Aîné Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert 375ml 2016

The Freys, a long-standing Champagne family and proprietors of Château La Lagune in Bordeaux, bought up Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné in 2006. Caroline, the family's eldest daughter, holds a degree in oenology from Bordeaux and works with her teams in a single-minded pursuit of perfection. «The grape must be a natural product, not the result of manufactured chemistry.» Caroline's philosophy has guided her vineyard towards biodynamic gardening over the past decade, culminating in organic certification in 2016.

Domaine De Thalabert Crozes-Hermitage displays flowery aromas, pepper, and sappy herb, as well as lots of darker cherry and currant fruit. The wine has a medium to full body, a lively, delicate structure, present tannins, and decent acidity.
