Jaboulet's négociant Crozes, the 2019 Crozes Hermitage les Jalets isn't quite as dark as the Domaine de Thalabert bottling, but it's still plenty purple. Scents of violets, licorice and cracked pepper accent blueberry and cassis fruit, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, silky and supple, ending with a gentle rush of soft tannins. Especially given the hail damage inflicted on the appellation in June, it's a noteworthy effort.

Made in a fruit-forward style for immediate consumption, Jaboulet's 2017 Crozes Hermitage les Jalets features hints of licorice and red cherries around a core of soft tannins. It's medium to full-bodied, with gentle briery notes and a juicy, fresh-tasting finish.

The 2014 Crozes Hermitage les Jalets comes partially from purchased grapes and partially from estate vineyards. Aged all in older casks, it exhibits fresh, lively notes of black cherries, pepper and spring flowers to go with a medium-bodied, supple, yet lightly textured and quaffable feel on the palate. It's well made and charming, and is a good effort, especially in this less than straightforward vintage.

The 2012 Crozes Hermitage les Jalets is a medium to full-bodied, easy-drinking Syrah that has classic tapenade, currant, earth and toasted spice on the nose. It has solid ripeness, good concentration and enough substance to evolve nicely through 2022.
