This white wine from the Northern Rhône is a blend of 50% Marsanne and 50% Roussanne, sourced from the Mule Blanche vineyard known for its alluvial soils and limestone pebbles. The 2021 vintage experienced a cooler growing season, contributing to its heightened acidity and mineral focus. The wine has an alcohol content of 13.5% and underwent ageing in concrete eggs and large oak barrels, aiming to enhance its floral aromatics. Tasting notes include white peach and honeysuckle, complemented by a distinct waxy texture. This cuvée exemplifies the modern, organic ethos of Paul Jaboulet Aîné, now led by Caroline Frey, highlighting their commitment to quality and terroir expression.
