Robert Parker

Yohan Castaing

Wafting from the glass with a lively, elegant bouquet of dark berries, spices, licorice and herbs, the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert possesses a moderately weighted, satiny and ample palate with a delicately juicy core of fruit, despite a slightly introverted character and an austere finish. Fermented 30% in wooden tronconic tanks, the rest in foudres, and matured in barrels, 15% new, this is a real classic.

Decanter

Violet-tinged blackberry on the nose. Silky, with fine tannins, fresh fruit, vibrancy and brightness to the depth. Organic, like all the domaine wines, this was harvested in several passes; young vines first, then the older vines up to four days later – the 85-year-old vines are some of the oldest in the appellation.

James Suckling

Stuart Pigott

This proves that Crozes-Hermitage can be a truly great wine. A wealth of black fruit, smoke, black pepper and raw meat aromas. At once bold, structured and elegantly balanced on the medium- to full-bodied palate, where the interplay of fleshiness and fine tannins is stunning. Very long, stony finish with notes of licorice and blackberries. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Vinous

Nicolas Greinacher

Ripe black fruit, licorice and cedar tones introduce the refined 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert. Medium-bodied, round and elegant, it bundles lively freshness with gentle resonance on the savory finish. Although the 2022 comes with secure aging potential, it can also be approached right after release.

The structure and finesse of a red wine from the Rhône Valley

The property

An emblematic name of the great wines of the northern Rhône Valley, the House of Paul Jaboulet-Aîné was founded in 1834 in Tain L’Hermitage. The renowned oenologist and winemaker Caroline Frey has been running this illustrious house, owned by the Frey family since 2006. The House of Paul Jaboulet Aîné oversees a vineyard of 125 hectares of vines, spread over exceptional appellations such as Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Cornas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise.

The vineyards of Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage have been managed biodynamically since 2017.

The vineyard

The oldest estate of the appellation, the Domaine de Thalabert has been owned by the House of Paul Jaboulet Aîné since 1834. Covering 45 hectares and located on the lower terraces of the Rhône on a pebbly soil of limestone origin, this terroir with vines aged 40 to 60 years gives birth to a great Crozes-Hermitage wine.

Vinification and aging

Hand-harvested, the grapes are sorted at the plot. Total destemming. 3 weeks of maceration accompanied by daily pumping over. Malolactic fermentation. Aging for 12 months in stainless steel tanks (20%), wooden truncated vats (50%), French oak barrels and demi-muids (30% of which 15% new wood).

Blend

Syrah (100%).
