Paul Jaboulet Aîné has been a part of the Rhône Valley wine industry for almost two centuries, beginning with a small plot of land on the hills of Hermitage, before expanding throughout the region. Today, it encompasses more than 100 hectares (250 acres) of vineyards, making wines from the northern and southern Rhône, spanning Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Condrieu and Cornas.

In 1834, Antonie Jaboulet began working the hills of Hermitage, growing and cultivating the vines that would lay the framework for future generations. On his death, the estate was passed to his sons Henri and Paul – the latter eventually giving his name to wines and the company.


Tasting Notes :
PARKER (98) The 2015 Hermitage La Chapelle is one of the estate?s finest recent efforts. It?s packed with firm tannins and will need to be lost in the cellar for a decade, but it will reward those with patience. Richly concentrated and full-bodied, it hits all the expected notes?cassis, black olive, smoke, crushed stone, pencil shavings and espresso?then finishes long, with an aristocratic sense of reserve and austerity. Winemaker Jacques Devernois compares it to a woman?s black dress, meaning it speaks of elegance and class.
