Grown on 1.3 hectares of vineyard, this very concentrated 100% Syrah showcases what the grape and the producers are capable of. It is vinified and aged in oak barrels for two years before bottlings. Ermitage is the original spelling of the appellation, a steep hill that is home to numerous parcels, typically on terraces. This wine is sourced from 40-year-old vines in the “Les Dionnières” lieu-dit (about 1ha). It is made entirely from estate-grown grapes, like all the wines produced by the estate. It offers a basket of complex flavours that include leather, coffee, blackcurrants, vanilla and minerals. It's drinking well now and will continue to improve for another 5 years or more.
Philippe and Vincent Jaboulet are a father & son duo that also happen to be 5th and 6th generation winemakers with a focus on Northern Rhone. They set up their own vineyards in 2006 following the sale of their family negociant business Domaine Jaboulet Aine in 2006.

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.
