Paul Jaboulet Aíné La Chapelle Hermitage Tinto

Description

“La Chapelle – a wine that feels like it sprung directly from a profound dialogue between the earth and the Syrah grape. This estate, passed down through a family’s dedication for nearly two centuries on the very peak of the Hermitage valley, embodies a passion that manifests in wines of remarkable intensity. Legend has it that Antoine Jaboulet himself began his work right there, beneath the chapel’s shade, and that spirit continues to shape the wine. Acquired by the Frey family in 2006, the estate retains its family legacy and expertise. The 1961 vintage, in particular, is considered one of the world’s most iconic – a classic that, despite its rarity and price, remains a stunning testament to the exceptional character of this vineyard. Ideal for pairing with robust red meats and warming spices.”
