Fantastic quality makes your palate spin with joy. Warm July and August with timely rains were a recipe for greatness, and this is a vin de garde. Seamless and silky, but also with a firm backbone of mineral, wet earth, plum, blackberry and leather notes. An old-fashioned red with a long finish.--La Chapelle vertical. Drink now through 2020. ?PM

This is autumn in the glass, with wet-leaf, fresh-mushroom, smoke and dried-meat character. Orange peel, dark fruits, and game pâté. Full body with incredible depth, length, ripe fruit and intensity. It goes on for minutes. Stunning finish. It is so rich, decadent and intense, but fresh and long. It defines greatness. It defines what hermitage was, is and should be.

With each additional year of evolution, my rating for the 1983 La Chapelle falls. Although impressive early in life, it has taken on less than positive characteristics. The dark garnet color revealed substantial amber at the watery edge. The aromatics revealed scents of ground beef, coffee, cedar, dried herbs, tobacco, and damp earth. The wine was noticeably astringent, medium to full-bodied, harsh, and forbiddingly backward and austere. I believe I made an error in judgment when I rated this wine outstanding early in its development. As it matures, the tannin dominates. While no one, even the Jaboulets, wants to give up on the 1983, it has become disjointed and out of balance, with astringent, nasty tannin. My best guess is that it will continue to decline and never live up to its promising beginning. Owners are advised to consume, sell, or trade it.

Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné
C’est en 1834 qu’Antoine Jaboulet a commencé à exploiter les terres en coteaux autour de l’Hermitage. Apportant un soin de tous les instants à ses vignes, il a travaillé à pied d’œuvre pour créer des vins exceptionnels. Depuis, des générations ont emprunté la voie qu’il a ouverte, et ce, jusqu’en 2006 lorsque la propriété est passée entre les mains de la famille Frey. Fortement ancrée dans le monde du vin en tant que propriétaire du Château La Lagune à Bordeaux, entre autres, les Frey perpétuent la passion de l’excellence célébrée par les Jaboulet. Sous l’égide de Caroline Frey, le chai et les vignobles ont fait l’objet d’une réfection, l’une de ses contributions les plus importantes étant la mise en application de pratiques durables. La répartition des différentes parcelles sur l’ensemble de la Vallée du Rhône, pour 121 hectares au total, permet de dédier les vignobles du Rhône septentrional à la syrah, tandis que les vignes de roussanne, marsanne et viognier servent à l’élaboration des blancs. Le porte-étendard de la maison Jaboulet, l’Hermitage La Chapelle, représente son apothéose, tandis que l’Hermitage La Petite Chapelle n’a pas grand-chose à lui envier.
