Paul Jaboulet Crozes Hermitage Blanc Mule Blanche Ainé 2021 ECO

Paul Jaboulet Aîné Crozes Hermitage Blanc "Mule Blanche" 2021 Organic is a sophisticated and nuanced white wine from the northern Rhône, created from an equal blend of Marsanne and Roussanne grapes, grown biodynamically at Conflans.

Each grape variety is fermented separately in wooden barrels and egg-shaped concrete tanks, followed by 8 months of aging on the lees with regular stirring.
