Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 2020 shows intense blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit layered with espresso, cured meat, licorice and a cool stony edge, all wrapped in powerful yet finely etched tannins. Despite its depth and savory complexity, the wine remains remarkably fresh and poised, promising impressive refinement with time in bottle.
Roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary; Dry-aged ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce; Braised beef short ribs

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.
