For this Crozes, the winemakers have carefully chosen a small area within their vineyards. This selected area is home to vines that boast an impressive age of over 30 years, a factor that contributes to the wine’s exceptional quality and complexity.
Philippe et Vincent Jaboulet have highlighted the presence of tannins, which play a significant role in its ageing potential. After undergoing fermentation, the wine is transferred to oak barrels for a period of one year. During this time, the tannins become more discernible, providing structure and allowing the wine to develop further.

The wine becomes more expressive, with notes of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, and plums dancing on the nose, accompanied by a subtle hint of sweetness.
The result is a wine that can be enjoyed both in its youthful vibrancy and as it matures gracefully over time. While the tannins provide structure and the potential for further aging, they eventually soften, allowing the wine’s aromatic complexity to shine through. The dark fruit aromas become even more pronounced, enveloping the palate with layers of richness and depth.
