2012 Hermitage La Chapelle, Paul Jaboulet Aïné
Ref: JABO120
Founded in 1834 in the northern Rhône, Jaboulet produce a vast range of wines, red and white. Some vintages of certain wines were among the finest bottles made anywhere (several vintages of Hermitage La Chapelle come to mind), but overall the wines were inconsistent and the firm (both a vineyard owner and negociant) was bought by the Frey family of Château La Lagune in Bordeaux in the early noughties.

Tasting Notes
"The first year where winemaker Caroline Frey really feels her organic farming drive paid off, the 2012 Hermitage la Chapelle is a gorgeous effort that shows the purity and texture of the vintage, as well as the class of the le Meal lieu-dit. Offering up classic black raspberry and sweet dark fruit, Asian spice, toasted bread, licorice and savory herbs, this beauty is full-bodied, beautifully concentrated and has enough tannic grip to demand 4-5 years of bottle age. It will have 3+ decades of longevity." Jeb Dunnock
