About this wine
PAUL JABOULET AINE La Chapelle, Hermitage
Paul Jaboulet Aîné La Chapelle, Hermitage is one of the world's most iconic and prestigious wines, produced from Syrah grapes grown on the steep slopes of the Hermitage hill in France's Northern Rhône Valley. Named after the Saint Christophe chapel that overlooks the vineyards, La Chapelle has a rich history dating back to 12244. This full-bodied wine is renowned for its complex flavor profile, featuring notes of black fruits, spices, earth, and licorice. La Chapelle requires significant aging, often needing 20-30 years to fully develop its unique character. The wine is made from 40- to 100-year-old vines, hand-harvested and fermented using indigenous yeasts, then aged in a combination of French oak barrels and concrete eggs.

The icon is in dangerously seductive form. Such pristine dark cherries, blackberries and dark plums, dark chocolate, finely crushed spices and plenty of crushed dark stones on offer. The palate is very intense, very slick and fine tannins deliver an almost playfully soft impression. The oak is super integrated. Like La Maison Bleue, this approachability is an aberration, as it has immense power, concentration and length with such regal and alluring swagger at the finish. But there is so much more to come. Try from 2024, better after 2030.

Brilliant magenta. A highly complex bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, cherry liqueur, incense and potpourri, while olive and exotic spice nuances build in the glass. Displays intense, alluringly sweet black/blue fruit, spicecake and violet pastille flavors that show sharp delineation and are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Closes extremely long and precise, displaying a smoky, intensifying mineral quality and youthfully gripping tannins that build steadily.
