Like the premise of a classic sitcom (the Jaboulets hail from the hills of Hermitage, but the Perrin's home is strictly southern, CNP don't you know), the uniting of these two Rhône royals (Nicolas Jaboulet and Marc Perrin) showcases the strengths of both families. Acting as negociants, they purchase, blend and age wines that distinctively reflect their appellation and terroir.
