Depth and power define the 2005 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle, with concentrated blackcurrant and dark plum wrapped in notes of licorice, spice and dried herbs. The palate is full and fleshy yet firmly structured, showing chewy tannins, dark berry richness and a long, savory finish that reflects the vintage’s polished grip and density.

Hermitage La Chapelle by Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the Rhône Valley’s benchmark Syrah-based reds, a legendary Hermitage blending old-vine parcels primarily from the granite of Les Bessards and the limestone of Le Méal on the Hermitage hill. Named after the tiny chapel that crowns the slope, it is a biodynamically farmed, low-yield wine famed for its depth, smoky-meaty and cassis-driven complexity, firm tannic structure, and extraordinary capacity to age for decades.
