Made entirely from Roussanne, this legendary vineyard has built its reputation on a single hill that it shares with Syrah plantings for the red Ermitage. Sheltered from northerly winds, this south-facing site receives good exposure to the sun while enjoying a Mediterranean climate. Roussanne is named after its ripe skin colour, a reddish-gold pigment that equates to the French word Roux (red-brown). The variety is thought to have originated in the northern Rhône Valley, where the majority of modern-day plantings are found because it benefits from the warm temperatures and long sunlight hours it needs to achieve full maturity.

It's made entirely from estate-grown grapes, like all the wines produced by this estate. The average age of the vines is 40 years. Lush melon, pear and apricot notes are underscored by a buttery vanilla note from the French barriques, with a floral whiff of honeysuckle through the finish.
For 6 generations, the Jaboulet family has been producing wines in the Côtes-du-Rhone. After nearly 30 years on the Paul Jaboulet Aine estate, where Philippe Jaboulet ran the family's vineyards, he and his son Vincent decided to leave the company to establish their own family estate, Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet. Located in the northern Rhone Valley, about one mile south of Tain l'Hermitage, the domain was founded in 2006. Philippe and Vincent retained about 13 hectares of family vineyards, including, first of all, the site "Talaber", which was renamed "Nouvelaire", which means "new era".
Father and son purchased several more plots, expanding their holdings to 30 hectares. In 2016, the domain received an HVE classification, in recognition of the estate's efforts to implement sustainable farming practices. Father and son represent the perfect tandem, embodying experience and new vitality. Philip is a recognized authority, and Vincent is a talented young oenologist who has worked all over the world before joining his father.

Passionate and in love with the wonderful bird that is the woodcock, we chose his nickname “poetic” to name the domain “La Mordorée”; four other nicknames: “La Remise”, “La Dame Rousse”, “La Dame Voyageuse” and “La Reine des Bois” symbolize the names of our 4 wines. As well as “la Plume du peintre” during exceptional vintage.
