2018 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Crozes Hermitage 'Domaine de Thalabert'

Winemaker Notes: The oldest Domaine of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, one of Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s properties since 1834.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Although the fruit sourcing has changed from the old days, the 2018 Crozes Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert remains a solid offering in the Jaboulet lineup. Violets accent blackberries and plums on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, lush and velvety, underscored by doses of salinity and licorice on the lengthy finish."


Jeb Dunnuck - "The 2019 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine De Thalabert showed well, with a floral, pepper, and sappy herb style as well as plenty of darker cherry and currant fruit. With medium to full body, a vibrant, elegant texture, present tannins, and good acidity, this is a classic, balanced Thalabert to hide for 2-4 years and enjoy over the following decade or more."


James Suckling - "The ripeness and opulence here is already impressive with tile, brick, ripe-plum and clove character on both the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied with lots of fruit, but a line of fine tannins runs through the center palate."
