Chateauneuf-du-Pape Jaboulet Vercherre 1964

Why We Love It

This wine carries the history and the name of a once-prominent but now almost forgotten house. Maison Jaboulet-Vercherre was founded in 1834 at Tain-L’Hermitage, becoming a prominent and storied maker of wines in both the Rhône and Burgundy, but slowly declined in the late 20th century and was largely absorbed into Domaine Faiveley in the early 2000s.

This 1964 is an exceptional example of the Maison's work and, at the time, over one hundred years of winemaking expertise. It's an incredible opportunity to taste a piece of history from a bygone era. As an added bonus, the 1964 Vintage was generally exceptional across Europe.

Important Notes on Cabinet Wines

Many of the wines we sell in the Cabinet are from old vintages. Ageing can have truly wonderful effects on wine. Those effects are influenced by a range of factors, both within and outside the bottle, meaning two bottles from the same vintage may have different profiles. If you are new to older wines—and if so, welcome!—please keep in mind that you may encounter a range of flavours and aromas not found in younger wines.
