(6-2000) This brilliant dark ruby purple-coloured 1979 still retains a youthful vigour. Spicy, with plenty of smoke, dried herb, pepper, and cassis fruit, this outstanding, smokey, gamy (smoked meats galore), full-bodied La Chapelle reveals some angularity and rough tannin in the finish, but all other signs are positive. Whilst it does not possess the weight of the biggest, most muscular vintages of La Chapelle, it is an exciting wine.

(1-2006) Dark ruby. Very meaty indeed – much more concentrated than many younger wines even if there's a little hint of oxidation on this decanted bottle. Starting to age but there is impressive body. Not subtle but very vigorous for its age. Dry, inky finish.

Paul Jaboulet Aine

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.
