Paul Jaboulet Ainé is one of the most highly acclaimed producers of the Northern Rhône and is renowned for their incredible wines made from the famous hillside vineyard of Hermitage. La Maison Bleue, formerly known as La Petit Chapelle, is different to their flagship Hermitage as the Syrah fruit is sourced from plots on the eastern part of the vineyard and it tends to have greater finesse, marginally less power and an earlier drinking window. The 2016 is an excellent wine with abundant youthful appeal. It is rich with ripe red and black fruits, velvety in texture and has wonderful savoury complexity throughout.

Vinous
Vivid purple. Expressive, smoke- and spice-accented dark fruit preserve, potpourri and incense scents are complemented by hints of licorice and olive paste. At once ripe and lively in the mouth, offering densely packed blackberry, blueberry and spicecake flavors that become spicier with aeration. Sneaky tannins give shape and solid grip to an impressively long, energetic finish that features lingering suggestions of candied flowers and dark berries.Josh Raynolds1st September 2019
