The result of hard work and passion for winemaking became wines of exceptional quality, which became very popular with his sons – Paul and Henri. The first was the name of the family company, which has since been passed down from generation to generation.
In 2006, the company Zhabulé was acquired by the Frey family, who are long-time Champagne winemakers and owners of Chateau La Lagune in Bordeaux. Nevertheless, the company continues to work representative of the family clan Jaboulet – Frederick.
