THE HARVEST IS METICULOUSLY CARRIED OUT BY HAND,
WITH PARCEL-BY-PARCEL SORTING USING SMALL 12 KG CRATES.
With over a hundred hectares spread across the major appellations of the northern Rhône Valley, this peak time of the year requires extremely precise organization to harvest the grapes at perfect maturity. Harvesters, carriers, and drivers strive every day for about a month to bring forth a new great vintage.
IN THE CELLAR, WE FURTHER REFINE THE GRAPE SELECTION
WITH METICULOUS CARE, EMPLOYING BOTH MANUAL
AND OPTICAL SORTING ON MULTIPLE TABLES.
Every year, our team collects a comprehensive assessment of climatic conditions, grape quality, and the overall growing season. At Maison Paul Jaboulet Ainé, we have been comparing this data since 1972. It provides our team with incredible knowledge and valuable insights into the unique characteristics and challenges of each specific harvest.
