PAUL JABOULET HERMITAGE LA CHAPELLE 11

Hermitage La Chapelle is the crown jewel of Paul Jaboulet Ainé and a legend of this famous appellation.From the domaine: “During the 13th century, a knight called Gaspard de Sterimberg settled in the hills of Tain l’Hermitage with the permission of Blanche de Castille. On his return from the crusades, he sought calm and serenity and isolated himself as a hermit, hence the name of the Hermitage appellation. There he built a Chapel, overlooking the Rhône Valley. La Chapelle endured the passage of time and finally became the property of Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné in 1919. Since the legendary 1961 vintage, which was classed as one of the Twelve mythical wines of the 20th century, Hermitage “la Chapelle” has become one of the world’s most sought-after wines.”
