Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 2009 is a full-bodied Syrah from the hill of Hermitage in the northern Rhône valley. This cuvée is named after the tiny chapel which sits atop the hill of Hermitage overlooking the river Tain which runs through the valley. The chapel was purchased by the Jaboulet family in 1919 and has give then name to their iconic Hermitage red ever since. "One of my favourite vintages of this cuvée, the 2009 Hermitage La Chapelle comes from a ripe, blockbuster styled year yet now, at age 13, is pure, classic Hermitage with its darker currant and blackberry fruits as well as notes of smoked meats, leather, soy sauce, graphite, and roasted herbs. Powerful, concentrated, and full-bodied on the palate, it`s shed most of its baby fat and has a classic, elegant mouthfeel, ripe yet still present tannins, and a gorgeous finish. This is clearly the finest example of this cuvée after the 1990. However, while the 1990 still tastes like an infant, this certainly shows some maturity and is ready to go. Nevertheless, it has another 20-30 years of prime drinking ahead of it." Jeb Dunnuck, 2022

A muscular vintage, with a touch of game, soy, umami and campfire on the aromatics. Opens to show blackberry, blood orange, tapenade, pomegranate, toast. An excellent wine, in a richer, more opulent style than the floral-dominant 2007, both stunning expressions of Syrah. This is in its drinking window, and begging to be shared, but will go for decades. Caroline Frey owner and winemaker, Denis Dubourdieu consultant.Jane Anson27th August 2025
95 Vinous
Opaque purple. Complex, highly fragrant aromas of candied dark fruits, cola, incense and violet, with bright mineral and spice nuances adding lift and energy. Stains the palate with deep blackberry and boysenberry flavors that expand and gain sweetness with aeration. Refuses to let up on the finish, which leaves peppery spice and floral pastille notes behind.Josh Raynolds1st March 2012
