The Hermitage La Chapelle Jaboulet 1964 is a single-vineyard red wine from the Northern Rhône Valley. This vintage is crafted primarily from Syrah grapes sourced from the esteemed hillside parcels of the Hermitage appellation, notably Les Bessards and Le Méal. The exceptional climate conditions of 1964 facilitated optimal ripeness, resulting in grapes with notable balance. Expect a complex profile with evolving notes of stewed fruits, earthy undertones and a persistent finish.

First, a magnum of 1964 Hermitage La Chapelle from Paul Jaboulet Aîné. Lucid in hue, it sports modest bricking on the rim. Its initial tightness on the nose soon disappears to reveal layers of melted red berries, allspice and touches of wild mint, hints of potpourri/garrigues emerging with time. The palate is fleshy and displays exquisite balance, the vestige of fruit framed by filigree tannins, hints of strawberry and bay leaf as it fans out and deepens on the captivating finish. Format and provenance play a role here, yet it was undeniably Hermitage at its very best and at 58-years of age, one senses it has no intention of stepping off its high plateau. Utterly transfixing.Neal Martin3rd June 2022
