Hermitage La Chapelle, Paul Jaboulet Ainé - 2018

The Paul Jaboulet Aîné estate in Tain-l'Hermitage is one of the most prestigious in the Rhône Valley. Cuvée Hermitage La Chapelle is a great terroir wine, made on the sunny slopes of Hermitage, a historic appellation renowned for its granite soils. Made exclusively from Syrah, this wine is a true symbol of the appellation, with intense aromas of black fruit, leather and pepper, complemented by subtle notes of chocolate and smoke. On the palate, the structure is full-bodied, tannic and marked by great length. Wine Advocate: 98/100 ; Vinous: 96/100 ; James Suckling: 97-98/100 ; Jeb Dunnuck: 97/100
