Along the steep, narrow valley that traces the northern Rhône, the appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Saint-Joseph take their place among the great wines of France, and Domaine Faury is one of the region’s most artisanal producers. When Philippe Faury took over the domaine in 1979, the family was selling wine, peaches and cherries, and the bulk of their clientele was local. Over the years, Philippe expanded their holdings to over eleven hectares.

Philippe Jaboulet and his son, Vincent, carry on long-established family winemaking traditions at Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet in Crozes-Hermitage. Located in the northern Rhône Valley about one mile south of Tain l’Hermitage, the domaine was founded in 2006 following the sale of Maison Paul Jaboulet Ainé, where Philippe managed the family’s vineyards and handled all grape purchasing.
After the sale, Philippe and Vincent retained about 32 acres of the family’s vineyards, including most notably a parcel of the original Thalabert vineyard, which is situated in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. (Philippe and Vincent Jaboulet acquired another 37 acres to add to the newly formed domaine, including a small plot in Cornas-1.7 acres.) The parcel from the Thalabert vineyard that belonged to Paul Jaboulet Ainé was renamed Nouvelère, commemorating the ‘new era’. The domaine’s Nouvelère wine is produced from the vineyard’s oldest vines, up to 80 years old. (See below.)
The domaine owns other vineyard holdings in Crozes-Hermitage, where relatively younger vines yield full-bodied reds from the Syrah variety. These wines are aged in tanks and both small and large oak barrels; no new wood barrels are employed.) These reds are released two years after the vintage.

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.

While Saint Cosme may be known for their southern Rhone wines, this pure Syrah from their northern Rhone vineyard is excellent. Granite slopes rather than flatlands give the wine greater structure and complexity. The wine shows classic aromas and flavours of black fruits, smoked bacon, black peppercorn, and incense.
