Here are virtually all of Jaboulet’s top wines in the challenging 2003 vintage, except for the Côte Rôtie, Les Jumelles which failed to arrive for this recent tasting in London. On balance the whites, perhaps surprisingly, were marginally more successful than the reds but this is not an inspiring collection.
On Saturday I'll publish my notes on a wide range of 2000 northern Rhônes, mainly reds, including some really very nice wines.
