2022 Domaine de la Chapelle Hermitage

The jewel in the Jaboulet collection has always been the legendary ‘La Chapelle’ Hermitage, a great red wine made purely from syrah, which owes its name to the famous little Sainte Christophe chapel which overlooks the Hermitage vineyards. ‘La Chapelle’ which has been solely owned by Paul Jaboulet Aîné since 1919.

 "This amazing Hermitage has an aromatic complexity that’s extremely difficult to put into a few words. A cornucopia of forest berries, wild herbs and flowers pour from the glass. Incredibly focused and structured on the super-concentrated, medium- to full-bodied palate. As it aerates, notes of licorice, bark and black olive tapenade unfurl. But it’s the almost endless, super-minerally finish that seals the deal. From organically grown grapes. Drink from release."
