JABOULET, HERMITAGE LA CHAPELLE
As the hill of Hermitage crowns the splendid vineyards of the Northern Rhône, the poetry of a little lone chapel cresting this crown gives Jaboulet's best Hermitage its moniker. Rendering carefully tended Rhône wines, this was a family business from its inception in 1834 until its recent sale. Often mentioned in the same breath as the equally great Chave but differing in style, La Chapelle has that certain elegance, leather and ethereal smoke bordering on incense. Not as heavy or as extracted, spending lesser time in oak, the wines are nonetheless intense.
