Paul Jaboulet Aine - Les Jalets 2016 - Crozes Hermitage

Les Jalets is the heart of the Rhône.

The name comes from the pebbles that the glacier water brings with it in the spring - in French called Jalets - which cover the soil.

Les Jalets is made from Syrah, which comes from Paul Jaboulets Aîné's 6 ha vineyard of the same name.

The vines are 25 years old, and after harvest the wine is developed in French oak barrels before bottling.

The color is bright ruby ​​red, with Syrah's typical violet edge. The aroma begins with lots of red berries, before moving into a final spicy finish.

The taste is soft, with a full-bodied "attack" that leads to a finish with a hint of licorice.

Should be served in large glasses at 16 - 18 degrees and enjoyed with good friends with a roast or other good meat.
