The 2011 Hermitage “La Chapelle” by Paul Jaboulet Aîné is a legendary cuvée from the northern Rhône Valley, sourced from prestigious plots such as Le Méal, Les Bessards and Les Rocoules, which benefit from deep granite soils and optimal exposure. This 100% Syrah wine, aged in oak for approximately 15 to 18 months, reveals an intense ruby color with slightly purple highlights. The nose expresses a great aromatic complexity combining ripe black fruits (plum, blackberry), sandalwood, licorice, peppery herbs and smoky notes, accompanied by a mineral undertone. On the palate, the attack is ample, the tannins are firm but melted, the mid-palate dense, and the finish long carried by a remarkable mineral freshness that prolongs the pleasure. This wine has excellent aging potential, still capable of evolving for several years, and pairs majestically with game dishes, red meat in sauce or rich gourmet cuisine.

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.
