A play on the words nouvelle (new) and ère (era), this wine is actually sourced from the oldest vines on the Jaboulet domaine, including some once used to produce Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s most famous wines. A great introduction to Rhône Syrahs and a great value!

  • Dark fruit is the core characteristic of this lively Syrah. Slightly spicy, with raspberry and blackcurrant flavors, and lots of grip on the finish. This wine has had considerable time in the bottle, but the fruit is still fresh and intense.

    Food pairing: Short ribs

  • Intense black olive, dark chocolate, and dark fruit scents on the nose with mossy and briny notes developing as well. Full-bodied, with ripe blackberry and black currant flavors bursting onto the palate along with something suggestive of clay. Mouth coating, with a slightly waxy texture, well-integrated tannins, and a lengthy finish. Weighty, fleshy, and rich, with an intense concentration of fruit. Likely to be approachable from around 2016 and then drink well through around 2026 or beyond.

    Food pairing: try with a spicy beef kebab or roasted pork

The Creator of This Wine

Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet

Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet

After 30 years overseeing the famous Paul Jaboulet Aîné vineyards, Philippe Jaboulet decided it was time for a change. Taking 37 acres (15 hectares) of the old family business, he teamed up with his son Vincent to combine it with 37 acres of new land -- creating the new Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet.
