Paul Jaboulet Aîné
RED WINE
In 1996, Paul Jaboulet Aîné became the proud custodian of the "Domaine Raymond Roure," previously owned by the eponymous family. Situated in the north of Tain l'Hermitage, this estate encompasses a stunning 1.4-hectare valley, which reveals itself as an incredible ecological habitat with tremendous potential. It is within this sanctuary that we have established our second biodiverse refuge.

Convinced that the interactions of living organisms are beneficial to the vineyard, favouring, among other things, crop auxiliaries, we have established the protection of the Domaine de Roure ruin, its forest, pond and its meadow. This picturesque 1.4-hectare valley, in the heart of our Domaine de Roure vinyards, is our second LPO biodiversity refuge.
