The Story
Region: Hermitage, Northern Rhône, France
Grape: Syrah
Tasting: Blackberry / Black Pepper / Smoky / Truffle / Cedar / Full Bodied / Powerful Intensity
Pairing: Roast Duck / Guinea Fowl with Jus / Slow Braised Lamb Shoulder / Wild Mushroom Risotto / Aged Comte
Producer: Paul Jaboulet Aîné's Hermitage La Chapelle stands as one of the Northern Rhône's most legendary wines, crafted from vines planted on the steep granite slopes of the iconic Hermitage hill. La Chapelle derives its name from the small chapel that crowns the Hermitage hill, and the wine is sourced from some of the appellation's most prestigious vineyard sites.
The 2006 Vintage represents a classic expression from this historic maison, founded in 1834, during the final years under the Jaboulet family ownership before its acquisition by the Frey family in 2006. This vintage showcases the power and complexity that pure Syrah can achieve on these ancient granite soils, producing a wine of remarkable concentration and ageing potential that exemplifies why Hermitage is considered one of France's greatest red wine appellations.
