Hermitage La Chapelle from Paul Jaboulet Ainé is arguably one of the most iconic wines in the world. They are one of the largest landowners on the famous hill of Hermitage and this wine is produced from a selection of the finest parcels of Syrah from the Les Bessards, Le Meal, Greffieux and Rocoules lieux-dits. Typically this is a wine that requires extending cellaring before consumption and will happily live for 30-40 years or more. The 2016 is full-bodied but stunningly velvety in texture, with lashings of rich dark fruits and immense savoury depth. For such a young wine it is startling good to drink but this easily has the capacity for several decades of evolution.

Inky ruby. Intensely perfumed aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, exotic spices, cured tobacco, olive and potpourri are given vivacity by a smoky mineral nuance. Fresh and expansive in the mouth, displaying deeply concentrated boysenberry and cherry liqueur flavors, along with suggestions of candied violet, star anise and bitter chocolate. The floral and mineral notes return on the strikingly long, penetrating finish, which features harmonious tannins and a sweet touch of candied licorice.Josh Raynolds1st September 2019

Sourced from the granitic western portion of the appellation, the 2016 Hermitage La Chapelle features mouthwatering aromas of black olives and charred beef. It's full-bodied and creamy-velvety in texture, incredibly lush without being overtly fruity. In fact, it's largely savory, with elegant shadings of leather and spice on the long, silky finish. Yet despite being delicious now, this still has the granite backbone to age through 2040.Joe Czerwinski31st October 2018
