Vinification of Les Jalets Rouge by Paul Jaboulet Aîné

The basis for the elegant Les Jalets Rouge from the Rhône Valley are grapes from the grape variety Syrah. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Rhône Valley. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of limestone and volcanic rock. At the time of optimal ripeness, the grapes for Les Jalets Rouge are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective machinery. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn into bottles. The aging in barrel is followed by a long aging in bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex.
