Bibendum Wine has announced two additions to its French portfolio; Rhône producer Paul Jaboulet Aîné and Bordeaux third growth Château La Lagune.

Both properties are owned and managed by winemaker Caroline Frey; Jaboulet Aîné is one of the most recognisable names in French wine, and owner of La Chapelle vineyard in Hermitage, while Château La Lagune, is the highest ranked Haut Medoc property in Bordeaux's 1855 classification.

Available to on-trade and independent merchants, Bibendum will list the following wines from September 24: Paul Jaboulet Aîné: Crozes Hermitage Blanc Les Jalets 2011, Crozes-Hermitage Domaine Mule Blanche 2011, Condrieu Domaine des Grands Amandiers 2010, Hermitage Le Chevalier de Sterimberg 2008, Crozes-Hermitage Rouge Les Jalets 2009, St Joseph Rouge Le Grand Pompee 2009, Cornas Les Grandes Terrasses 2009, Crozes-Hermitage Rouge Domaine de Thalabert 2007, Hermitage La Petite Chapelle 2007 and Hermitage La Chapelle 2007.

Stuart Grundy, Bibendum's director of buying for the northern hemisphere, said: "Following on from our recent announcement that we will represent Gaja's Tuscan estate Ca'Marcanda, I am delighted that Paul Jaboulet Aîné and Château La Lagune have joined our portfolio.

"Caroline Frey is one of France's most important winemakers and she has had an incredible impact on these famous names in the short time she has been in charge. We are very excited about working with Caroline and the team at Jaboulet and La Lagune to increase sales to the UK on trade and independent merchants."

A selection of the Paul Jaboulet Aîné wines will be available to taste on September 24, at Bibendum's Artisan Tasting at The Gallery Soho in London from 3pm to 9pm.
