Tom Cannavan (01-1999) Wonderfully ripe, sweet syrah fruit. Cassis and raspberries, then a charcoal note. The palate really does show lovely balance with fine, but firm tannins and good acidity supporting masses of black fruits, pepper and spice. The wine is medium-bodied and is very elegant with fine fruit, concentration and balance. Superb potential.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1997 Hermitage La Chapelle has begun to completely close down, which is surprising in view of how sweet, seductive, and precocious this vintage can be. However, the color seems to get deeper with exposure to air (the wine was far more drinkable after 24 hours of aeration than it was upon opening). The moderately intense bouquet exhibits plenty of ripe blackberry and cherry fruit, in addition to spicy, mineral characteristics. There is considerable weight and volume, but the wine is tight, and nearly impenetrable, leaving an impression of a large, deep, four-square monolith in need of 7-10 years of cellaring - at the minimum. This is an outstanding Hermitage La Chapelle that will have at least three decades of positive evolution. For readers intent on committing infanticide, open and decant it 12-24 hours in advance. The improvement is dramatic. Perhaps it is Jacques Jaboulet's preference to bottle with very high levels of CO2 (1200 ppm) that makes this wine so difficult to taste in its youth.

For almost two centuries, Paul Jaboulet Aîné has been offering consumers the product of ancestral expertise, placing excellence at the heart of its strategy. To perpetuate these values, the company strengthens this heritage both in the vineyard through new acquisitions and in the quality of the wines while respecting the environment. The diversity of terroirs in the "lieux dits" gives the wine a particular identity through the blending of different plots. Its La Chapelle cuvée, based on the hills of Hermitage, reigns over the Rhône Valley. In the 13th century, returning from the Crusades, it welcomed the Chevalier de Stérimberg. Later it would become the family's flagship, Hermitage La Chapelle, offering great sensations to tasters. The 1961 vintage will be classified among the Twelve Mythical Bottles of the 20th century, with a few bottles and magnums still sleeping at Jaboulet and in some cellars around the world. The name of Hermitage "La Chapelle" is linked to the small Saint-Christophe chapel overlooking the terraced vineyard dominating the Rhône. These Syrahs are planted on rich and varied soils with a great diversity of terroirs (les Bessards, les Greffieux, le Méal and les Rocoules). It is from the richness of these different terroirs that the complexity of Hermitage La Chapelle is born.

The finest vintages of Hermitage La Chapelle: 1997, 1996, 1995, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1985, 1982, 1979, 1978, 1971, 1970, 1966, 1964, 1962, 1961, 1959, 1949.
