In a few words ...
The name of this cuvée was borrowed from Victor Hugo's "Legend of the Centuries": in the 9th century, the Great Pompey, a loyal companion of Charlemagne, fought alongside him against the Moors on the right bank of the Rhône. A famous line from this battle remains: "Et du vin de ce vin qu'aimait le Grand Pompée".

Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Paul Jaboulet Aîné is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 60 wines available to purchase, including the wine Le Grand Pompée 2016.
Appellation
Saint-Joseph
The appellation Saint-Joseph is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Paul Jaboulet Aîné and its 56 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
