94 / 100
Wine Spectator December - 1999
Wine Spectator
Much more expressive on the nose than the '97--and darker and thicker--adding to the evidence that '96 is a better vintage in the northern Rhône. Delivers a round, clean, pure mouthfeel of vibrant, focused red berry and blackberry flavors. Superb balance, as it walks a tightrope among the relatively high acidity, ripe tannins and delicious fruit.

Jean-Marc Quarin November - 2002
Jean-Marc Quarin
Here is a very colorful, intense wine, with a very fresh nose of fruit, flowers, with a touch of tea. Supple and smooth entry on the palate, developing on a powerful structure where power combines with smoothness. Very slow juicy, powerful, spicy and coated tannic evolution, finishing long, a little firm (which is a pity), mineral but, constantly, the fruit returns to the palate.

(7-2009) Very healthy deep crimson. Deeper than 1999 and 2004! Tangy, meaty nose. Fully evolved nose - almost as though there's some reduced Mourvèdre here. Very promising until the rather dried-out end. The best Jaboulet of these three reds but it cuts off a bit on the finish.

Paul Jaboulet Aine

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.
