The hot summer with some rain in '88 made thick, full-bodied reds. This is no exception. Still young and closed, with tough and chewy tannins, with the terroir expressing a mineral, lead pencil and iron-tasting quality. Layered with Hermitage character. Connoisseurs will appreciate it now; others might cellar.--La Chapelle vertical. Best from 2005 through 2020. 8,850 cases made. ?PM

This was the first vintage in the vertical tasting of La Chapelle that is beginning to reveal considerable secondary nuances and color development. Opaque purple/garnet with a touch of amber at the edge, this sexy, rich effort is more pleasurable aromatically than on the palate. However, it possesses multiple dimensions as well as abundant aromas of cedar, damp forest, spice box, and Asian spices. The soaring bouquet suggested the wine was more mature in flavor than it turned out to be. The wine is dense, with a firm, noticeably tannic edge, full body, and concentrated, powerful flavors. It is a classy, understated La Chapelle that requires another 5-6 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025

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.
