Description
History The name of Hermitage La Chapelle is linked to the little chapel of Saint-Christophe overlooking the terraced vineyards along the Rhone. Maison Paul Jaboulet Aine has been the sole owner since 1919. The diversity of terroirs on these lands gives our wine an identity of its own, thanks to the blending of grapes from different plotsSoil The Syrah vines are planted in rich and varied soils with very diverse terroirs les Bessards, les Greffieux, le Meal and les Rocoules. It is the richness of these different terroirs that provides our Hermitage La Chapelle with its complexity.VinificationGrapes are brought down from the slopes of lHermitage on small sledges, after which they are sorted by hand and vinified traditionally in our wineries Final blending is carried out during the ageing process and is done through judicious selection from the different terroirs of lHermitage.AgeingLa Chapelle is aged in wood in our ancient VINEUM cellar for 15 to 18 months. During this process the wines are also racked.Tasting Colour Intense ruby red, limpid and bright. Bouquet Highly complex, distinguished nose, revealing the Syrahs great finesse.
