Hermitage La Petite Chapelle 2001 from Jaboulet presents a deep garnet color with hints of brick at the edges, indicating its age. On the nose, it reveals complex aromas of dark fruits, dried herbs, and subtle earthiness, accompanied by notes of spices and leather. The palate is full-bodied, showing a blend of ripe blackberry and plum, with underlying mineral and savoury characteristics. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a structured mouthfeel.

Producer Information

Paul Jaboulet Aîné has been a part of the Rhône Valley wine industry for almost two centuries, beginning with a small plot of land on the hills of Hermitage, before expanding throughout the region. Today, it encompasses more than 100 hectares (250 acres) of vineyards, making wines from the northern and southern Rhône, spanning Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Condrieu and Cornas. In 1834, Antonie Jaboulet began working the hills of Hermitage, growing and cultivating the vines that would lay the framework for future generations. On his death, the estate was passed to his sons Henri and Paul – the latter eventually giving his name to wines and the company. The estate was passed through the Jaboulet family until its acquisition by Franco-Swiss real-estate millionaire Jean-Jacques Frey and family in 2006. Winemaking at Jaboulet is overseen by Frey’s daughter, Caroline, who also manages winemaking at Frey’s other estates (Bordeaux’s Château La Lagune and Château Corton-C in Aloxe-Corton) as well has her own project (Mon Jardin Secret) in the Valais.
