The 2013 Hermitage la Petite Chapelle is more forward and approachable than the grand vin, giving up lots of granite-induced minerality, smoked earth, bouquet garni and assorted dark fruits in its medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, layered style. Coming from a mix of parcels and aged 15-18 months in roughly 20% new French oak, its should evolve gracefully for 10-15 years.<br/>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.

Features a slightly taut frame, with singed cedar and balsamic notes clipping the wings of the red currant, cherry paste and plum fruit flavors. Tar and sage details line the finish. There's some depth here and good ripeness for the vintage, but not the volume or range of the best wines from this appellation. Drink now through 2023. 200 cases imported. –JM

A lighter La Chapelle with blueberry and crushed pepper character. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now.

Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné
C’est en 1834 qu’Antoine Jaboulet a commencé à exploiter les terres en coteaux autour de l’Hermitage. Apportant un soin de tous les instants à ses vignes, il a travaillé à pied d’œuvre pour créer des vins exceptionnels. Depuis, des générations ont emprunté la voie qu’il a ouverte, et ce, jusqu’en 2006 lorsque la propriété est passée entre les mains de la famille Frey. Fortement ancrée dans le monde du vin en tant que propriétaire du Château La Lagune à Bordeaux, entre autres, les Frey perpétuent la passion de l’excellence célébrée par les Jaboulet. Sous l’égide de Caroline Frey, le chai et les vignobles ont fait l’objet d’une réfection, l’une de ses contributions les plus importantes étant la mise en application de pratiques durables. La répartition des différentes parcelles sur l’ensemble de la Vallée du Rhône, pour 121 hectares au total, permet de dédier les vignobles du Rhône septentrional à la syrah, tandis que les vignes de roussanne, marsanne et viognier servent à l’élaboration des blancs. Le porte-étendard de la maison Jaboulet, l’Hermitage La Chapelle, représente son apothéose, tandis que l’Hermitage La Petite Chapelle n’a pas grand-chose à lui envier.
