Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet
2009 Ermitage
Good for cellaring. While most white Ermitages are made from a combination of Marsanne and Roussanne, this one is made from 100% Roussanne grapes, which lends a rich, soft elegance to this very unique wine. The 2009 requires aging; the 2007 vintage is ready to drink now.
Round and bursting with delectable fruit—apples and pears—with a bit of vanilla as well. Full-bodied on the palate with plenty of tart juiciness on the finish. Deliciously balanced.
Food pairing: Cheddar cheese
The Creator of This Wine
Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet
After 30 years overseeing the famous Paul Jaboulet Aîné vineyards, Philippe Jaboulet decided it was time for a change. Taking 37 acres (15 hectares) of the old family business, he teamed up with his son Vincent to combine it with 37 acres of new land -- creating the new Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet.
