PAUL JABOULET CROZES HERMITAGE MULE BLANCHE 2010

The Jaboulet renaissance is evident in the quality of this white single vineyard Crozes-Hermitage. Showing all the delicate floral aromas one would expect from this wine, it has a full, rich and spicy palate and the potential to last for many years and develop into a complex and intriguing wine.

ONLY AVAILABLE IN UNSPLIT CASES OF SIX

VINEYARD
This is a single vineyard wine from the Mule Blanche vineyard which covers 7 hectares on a glacio-fluvial alluvium plain. The vines are 40-60 years old and produce yields of 40 hl/ha.

The name Mule Blanche originates from pre-mechanisation times when mules were used to work the vineyards.

GRAPE VARIETIES
50% Marsanne, 50% Roussanne

VINIFICATION
The grapes were hand picked into ventilated 20kg crates. After de-stalking, the grapes are cold-pressed to retain freshness. Fermentation took place in large oak casks. The wine remained in oak on the fine lees with some batonage for a further 6-9 months.

TASTING NOTE
The 2010 Mule Blanche is bright yellow in colour, with aromatic notes of acacia, citrus and spice. The palate is refreshing, with fine acidity balanced with succulent lemon, orange and pear fruit flavours. The finish is long and smooth-textured, with gentle vanilla and spice complexity.

CLOSURE: Cork

ALCOHOL: 12.5% (9.4 units of alcohol)
