Wine Spectator November - 1989

Tasted from magnum. A good, simple, Hermitage that is gaining suppleness over the years. Deep ruby colour; vanilla, pepper and strawberry aromas; medium-bodied, high acidity, with strawberry and roasted coffee flavours and a short finish. A bit diluted but has some lovely flavours.

Both Chave's and Jaboulet's La Chapelle were showing good potential in the mid-1980s.

For almost two centuries, Paul Jaboulet Aîné has been offering consumers the product of ancestral expertise with 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 wines while respecting the environment. The diversity of the "lieu-dit" terroirs 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 wine, Hermitage La Chapelle, offering tasters great sensations. The 1961 vintage was ranked among the Twelve legendary bottles of the 20th century, with some bottles and magnums still sleeping at Jaboulet and in cellars around the world. The name 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.
