Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s 2018 Hermitage “La Chapelle” is an exceptional cuvée from the northern Rhône Valley, born on the richly exposed historic granite slopes of Hermitage. Made from 100% Syrah, this vintage is distinguished by moderate aging in new oak (≈20%) that supports without dominating the fruit expression. The nose offers intense aromatic complexity with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and violet, blended with touches of licorice, graphite, and crushed stone. On the palate, the attack is ample, the texture concentrated and deep, carried by massive but refined tannins, with a long persistence endowed with a remarkable mineral freshness. This wine has great aging potential and will pair beautifully with red meats in sauce, game, or rich, flavorful gourmet dishes.

Founded in 1834 on the Hermitage hill in Tain-l’Hermitage, the Paul Jaboulet Aîné estate oversees an exceptional winemaking heritage, bringing together the most renowned terroirs of the northern Rhône Valley. Today, it oversees 105 hectares of vineyards, stretching from Cornas to Côte-Rôtie, in the heart of the most prestigious appellations of the northern Rhône Valley.

Thanks to precise vinification and meticulous work in the vineyards, the estate crafts tailor-made vintages that accurately express the richness and diversity of their terroirs of origin. Since 2016, all of its wines have been certified organic, demonstrating a strong commitment to quality and respect for the environment.

Paul Jaboulet Aîné thus embodies the quintessence of the great wines of the Rhône Valley, between tradition, high standards and excellence.
