A FIRST - EXPECTED JUNE 2025
This edition is a mixed case with 1 bottle of Domaine de la Chapelle Hermitage Blanc and 1 bottle of Hermitage Rouge. In attachment you will find the factsheets of both wines.
In the 13th century, the knight Henri-Gaspard de Sterimberg settled in the hills around Tain l'Hermitage, after returning from the court of King Louis VIII and with the permission of Blanche of Castile. Tired and laden with honours after the Crusades against the Albigensians, he retired as a hermit to find peace and serenity. This is how the name of the Hermitage appellation came about. As a hermit, he built a small chapel and planted vines there. Centuries later, his legacy lives on in La Chapelle, whose vineyards have been cared for by the Jaboulet family since 1919 and later by the Frey family. On the steep, stony slopes – which can only be worked by hand – grows this characterful white Hermitage, which proudly bears the name of its founder.
The Hermitage Rouge has a A deep ruby red color. The nose is initially subdued, but opens up to a complex bouquet of black fruit, dried flowers and toasted notes. In the mouth the wine is rich, powerful and above all elegant, with a remarkable complexity. The finish is refined and carries mineral nuances.
The Hermitage blanc has an attractive pale blond colour with silvery reflections. The nose is complex and unfolds with some aeration. Aromas of white flesh and floral notes (lime blossom) dominate, with a subtle hint of fresh almond and fine aromas of maturation. In the mouth, the attack is delicate and seductive, with fresh aromas of exotic fruit (pineapple) and white flowers. The finish is carried by notes of citrus zest and a hint of brioche, which ensures a long and refined finale.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze mixed case brengt twee contrasterende smaakprofielen: de Hermitage Rouge toont diepe robijnkleur met complex zwart fruit, gedroogde bloemen, geroosterde tonen en een elegante minerale afdronk, terwijl de Hermitage Blanc bleekblond is met aroma’s van wit vruchtvlees, lindebloesem, exotisch fruit, citruszeste en een subtiele briochetoon. Daardoor werkt de set uitstekend bij barbecue en borrel omdat de krachtige, geroosterde en fruitige Rouge prachtig met gegrild rood vlees en gekruide worst samengaat, terwijl de frisse, florale Blanc verkwikkend is op het terras en feestelijk bij zeevruchten, gevogelte of romige aperitiefhapjes; voor romantische diners combineer je de rouge bij langzaam gegaard lamsvlees en de blanc bij licht gebakken coquilles of een romige kipbereiding. Kies bij de rouge voor langzaam gegaarde of gegrilde bereidingen met een licht gerookte of gekruide saus en bij de blanc voor korte, hete bereidingen zoals sauteren of licht grillen en gebruik een frisse citrus- of botersaus om de brioche- en citrusnuances te accentueren. |

With an introverted, almost austere profile, the 2022 Hermitage La Chapelle offers up aromas of dark berries, spices, cornflower and licorice mingled with delicate notes of pencil lead and oak. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and structured, it has a beautiful fleshy core of fruit, velvety tannins and subtle dry extracts leading to a long, delicate and mineral finish. Crafted from a blend of various plots on Hermitage’s hill—Le Meal covering nine hectares, Les Roucoules two hectares and Les Bessards also two hectares—this La Chapelle is technically accomplished. However, it lacks the raciness and transparency that fully expresses its sumptuous terroir.
Caroline Frey graciously hosted me for a tasting of the 2022 vintage. She described the year as “hot, dry and extreme,” noting that the number of days with maximum temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius reached record levels. Despite those conditions, the wines are fresh with lively bouquets and no trace of drought or overripe profiles. Caroline considers it “an exciting vintage, particularly regarding how positively the vines adapted to the climate.”
The Frey family acquired Paul Jaboulet Aîné in 2006, securing ownership of the second-largest estate of Hermitage vines, including the legendary La Chapelle. Since their arrival, and under Caroline Frey’s leadership, the vineyards have undergone extensive restructuring and a full conversion to organic viticulture. Winemaking remains rooted in tradition, with a notable influence from Bordeaux techniques. La Chapelle continues to be the estate’s flagship wine, revered for its distinctive, sappy tannins and refined delicacy.

This amazing Hermitage has an aromatic complexity that’s extremely difficult to put into a few words. A cornucopia of forest berries, wild herbs and flowers pour from the glass. Incredibly focused and structured on the super-concentrated, medium- to full-bodied palate. As it aerates, notes of licorice, bark and black olive tapenade unfurl. But it’s the almost endless, super-minerally finish that seals the deal. From organically grown grapes. Drink from release.

From: Northern Rhône 2023: The Art of Perseverance (Jan 2025)
Black pepper, ripe black cherry, crushed violet, licorice and cedar wood tones present the outstanding 2022 Hermitage La Chapelle. While darker and more concentrated than the unfinished 2023 I tasted side by side, the 2022 clearly outperforms the 2021 tasted last year. Full-bodied, round and complex, the 2022 is a savory and serious La Chapelle built for the very long haul.

From: Northern Rhône: Where Diversity Ignites the Senses (Mar 2024)
The promising 2022 Hermitage La Chapelle checks in at 14.2% alcohol. Pronounced peppercorn, crushed violets, blueberry, black cherry, cedar and licorice are all pushed forward. Layered and deep, the 2022 exudes wonderful elegance and freshness despite its marked flavor concentration. Powdery tannins gently structure this outgoing La Chapelle, finishing with a discrete salty sensation on the persistent finish.

Based near Lausanne in Switzerland, Caroline Frey spends most of her time traveling between her family’s wineries in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Valais and the Rhône Valley. While she employs local staff in each, Frey ultimately calls the final shots on viticulture, winemaking and basically everything else. Just recently, though, her sister Delphine Frey joined the family operations, focusing on all marketing-related aspects. The 2022 reds are packed with density and ripeness, neatly maintaining a refreshing profile. Frey and I discussed the reasons why the wines are able to maintain such remarkable freshness despite the occasionally scorching high temperatures. She points out: “In some cases, it's better for the vines when temperatures rise above 40°C (104°F) than having longer periods of 35°C (95°F), because then the vines don’t shut down, and there’s lots of evapotranspiration. A temporary shutdown can be better as opposed to constantly high evaporation rates. In my opinion, those severe heat spikes of 2022, when some of the vines completely shut down, are part of the reason why the wines turned out so balanced. That being said, we had two rain showers in June and August, which were really important for the vines to continue with sugar accumulation and phenolic ripeness. Given September wasn't overly dry either, the severe dryness in 2022 mainly occurred during spring and the month of July.” Although the 2022 Hermitage La Chapelle is shaping up to be an outstanding rendition, I’m fairly sure the 2020 will have the edge in the long run. The 2021, on the other hand, is a more moderately concentrated La Chapelle whose substance and class are nowhere near that of 2020 or 2022. Looking more closely at the winemaking, Frey continues to destem all the grapes, regardless of the vintage. “In 2011 and 2012, we experimented with partial whole-cluster fermentation in Cornas, but I wasn’t convinced of the result. Of course, there are many great wines using stems during fermentation, but remember that the historical style of Jaboulet was never to use any stems. Furthermore, we’re already dealing with lower acidity levels in these exceptionally warm vintages. Using stems during fermentation automatically lowers acidity levels,” Frey remarked. The Hermitage La Chapelle now ages in a combination of 600-liter demi-muids, barriques and 16-hectoliter concrete eggs. When new oak is used, it doesn’t exceed 20%. An interesting winemaking choice by Frey is to block the malolactic conversion for all her whites, with the aim of maximizing freshness and energy. The whites I tasted here are indeed all distinctively fresh and vibrant, with the 2022 Hermitage La Chapelle Blanc Le Chevalier de Sterimberg a real standout. As of the 2021 vintage, both the Hermitage La Chapelle and Hermitage Blanc Le Chevalier de Sterimberg will be labeled as Domaine de La Chapelle rather than Paul Jaboulet Aîné. Frey explained the decision: “La Chapelle has such a strong identity on every level that it became clear to us, after years of work, that the next step for La Chapelle was to live on its own, under its own entity, and with the creation of its own winery at the bottom of the hill. While Paul Jaboulet Aîné will always be part of La Chapelle’s history, this change marks a new beginning in the La Chapelle story, which has been around since the 13th century.” Going forward, all wines from Domaine de la Chapelle will be distributed directly by Frey’s team for the French and US markets, while all other markets will be served via La Place de Bordeaux. At the same time, all Paul Jaboulet Aîné labeled wines will continue to be marketed by Frey’s team.

La Chapelle Hermitage takes us back to the year 1224, when knight Henri-Gaspard de Sterimberg, back from the Crusades, decides 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 backdrop, the Hermitage Hill. Since 1919, the Jaboulet family and then the Frey family have succeeded each other in cultivating the vines of their iconic wines. Founded in 1834 by the eldest (Aîné) son of winegrower Antoine Jaboulet, it developed into a monument of viticulture in the Rhone region. 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.
