Description
La Chapelle Hermitage takes us back to 1224, when knight Henri-Gaspard de Sterimberg, back from the Crusades, decided to settle as a hermit on a small hill. By building a small chapel and surrounding it with Syrah vines, le Chevalier de Sterimberg started a legendary setting, the Hermitage Hill. Since 1919, the Jaboulet family and then the Frey family have succeeded each other in cultivating the vines of this now iconic cuvée. La Chapelle is a mix of the great terroirs of western Hermitage, where the altitude is highest: Les Bessards (granite), Le Méal and Les Roucoules (pebble). The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (15% new) and cement concrete eggs.
The 2019 Hermitage La Chapelle comes from the company's vineyards on the western half of the Hermitage slope, mainly Le Méal, but with substantial contributions from Les Rocoules and Les Bessards. Classic notes of cassis, black olives, mocha and roasted meat are joined by hints of baking spices in a wine that is full, deep, dense and rich, with a velvety texture and a lingering finish.
On the nose, the Hermitage La Chapelle Rouge boasts exciting aromas of roasted meat, mocha, crushed stone, plum and cassis. It is full, concentrated, richly tannic and velvety in structure. The finish is long and complex, with hints of ground pepper and salted licorice. a fantastic glass that received 98+ Points from Perker and 97/100 from Vinous.
The famous Domaine de la Chapelle, previously known in combination with the name of Paul Jaboulet. In 2006, the Frey family purchased the company. Caroline Frey (Château La Lagune) then took over as head winemaker. She ensured, among other things, a conversion to a fully organic working method, which has translated into BIO certification since 2016. Major investments are also being made now. Work is underway on a new cellar specifically for the wines of Domaine de la Chapelle. For this reason, Domaine de la Chapelle is separated from the wines of Paul Jaboulet, so that all attention can be focused on these wines.

A much more structured, even austere, Hermitage than the La Petite Chapelle release, the 2013 Hermitage la Chapelle came from minuscule yields of ten to 18 hectoliters per hectare and was aged 15-18 months in 20% new French oak. Not harvested until the 12th of October, it offers a sensational bouquet of blackberry and black raspberry fruits, powdered rock, gunpowder and pepper. Medium to full-bodied, with good (though maybe not great) levels of concentration, it has high, yet beautifully polished tannin, integrated acidity, and terrific cut and focus on the finish. Give bottles 4-5 years of cellaring and enjoy over the following two decades.
The revamped Jaboulet firm, under the leadership of Caroline Frey, seems to have settled in and are now producing one serious lineup of wines from throughout the Rhone Valley.
Caroline Frey and winemaker Jacques Desvernois continue to make a bevy of high quality wines from throughout the Rhône Valley. Both their 2014s and 2013s show the vintage character nicely, and the wines show fresher, more elegant profiles without sacrificing too much density and depth. I’d like a touch more flesh and texture in a few of these latest releases, but there’s no denying the high quality coming from this estate today. One noteworthy change here is that after decades of working with Frederick Wildman & Sons, Paul Aîné Jaboulet will now be represented in the US by New York based Skurnik Wines. Hopefully this will lead to broader distribution and more access to these wines as there’s tons of value and quality in the lineup.

Plenty of pepper on the nose. This has a striking, granitic influence with graphite, black stones, beef fat and sweet spices, as well as plenty of star anise and dark, rich plums. The palate has rich, deep fleshy fruit that has really filled out nicely. Tannins are fine and gently grippy. There's plenty of dark plum flesh with some mocha and chocolate, too. Acidity is bright. Drinking well now, but will shine from 2025.

From: 2014 and 2013 Northern Rhône: Great Wines If You Can Find Them (Mar 2016)
Bright purple. Sexy, highly perfumed scents of ripe boysenberry, cherry cola, smoky Indian spices and potpourri take on a vibrant mineral quality in the glass. Smooth, expansive and impressively deep, showing a surprisingly delicate touch to the sweet black and blue fruit, floral pastille and spicecake flavors. Smooth, slow-building tannins come up slowly and add focus to an extremely long, juicy, mineral- and floral-driven finish.

The wines made by owner-winemaker Caroline Frey and her right-hand man Jacques Desnervois are distinctly more polished and approachable than those made by the Jaboulet family up until the domain was sold in 2006. They are also far more consistent in quality and more approachable than they were under the old regime. Yields are now often frighteningly low, even before sorting, with many of the wines being made from crops as small as 10 hl/ha. New oak is kept to a minimum, never exceeding 20%, which Frey says is “my personal limit before the wine's intrinsic personality becomes obscured, even if you're working with the very best tonneliers."

After the Swiss Frey family, in the person of Jean-Jacques Frey, took over in 2006, it received a new impulse, thanks to investments in vineyards, housing and winemaking facilities.
The Frey family has been involved in winemaking for generations. In addition to being the owner of one of the most beautiful vineyards in the Champagne region and shareholder of the prestigious Maison Billecart-Salmon champagne house, the family also owns Château La Lagune in Haut-Médoc. Caroline Frey, the eldest daughter of Jean-Jacques, made her first wine from Château La Lagune in 2004. Today she is ultimately responsible for the wines of Château La Lagune and, together with Frederic Jaboulet, for the wines of Paul Jaboulet Aîné.
