Marks and reviews

Wine Spectator

James Molesworth

Sleek and slightly taut in feel, with a light cedar edge running amid the black currant and bitter plum fruit. Light tobacco and olive notes check in on the finish, adding nice typicity, but this stays a bit taciturn overall. Drink now through 2030. 75 cases made, 25 cases imported.

Jeb Dunnuck

Brought up entirely in demi-muids (they moved to 100% demi-muids in 2015), the 2016 Côte Rôtie Les Pierrelles offers a fresh, vibrant, downright pretty style with black raspberries, crushed rocks, violets, and floral aromas and flavors. It has medium-bodied richness, plenty of underlying grip, beautiful tension, and outstanding length. It nicely showcases the vintage’s fresher, more elegant and classic style.

/20

Bettane+Desseauve

Deep nose, with a lightly smoky mineral note; the palate is round, already showing a voluptuous dimension, but it doesn’t deliver all the length or density expected in the appellation.

Description

The precision and freshness 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 major appellations such as Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Cornas, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and even Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise.

The vineyard

The Domaine des Pierrelles of Paul Jaboulet-Aîné is a Côte-Rôtie wine from a 1.5 hectare terroir located within the historic vineyard of the appellation. The vines, approximately 20 to 30 years old, are planted on a terroir composed of decomposing mica schists.

Blend

This Domaine des Pierrelles 2016 from Paul Jaboulet-Aîné is a 100% syrah.
