Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s Hermitage La Chapelle is sourced from the estate’s top Syrah parcels—Le Méal, Les Bessards, and Les Greffieux—on Hermitage hill. The 1983 vintage, here as Bottle #4, was made using traditional fermentation and extended French oak aging, capturing the depth and longevity for which the cuvée is renowned.

This wine represents a strong vintage from Jaboulet’s golden era, combining the power of northern Rhône Syrah with the complexity and balance that have made La Chapelle a benchmark.

Paul Jaboulet Ainé has been producing Northern Rhone wines for a respectable period of nearly 200 years. They have a large negociant business (making wine from various AOCs with purchased grapes), but also own a whopping 22 hectares of their own land in Hermitage. Their largest plot is in Le Meal, where they have about 30% of their Hermitage vines.

Their signature wine is one of the world’s most iconic wines: “La Chapelle” Hermitage. La Chapelle is simply a trade name that refers to St. Christopher. The wine is a blend of Le Meal, Bessards, Greffieux and another top vineyard site Roucoules. La Chapelle from vintages like 1961, 1978 and 1990 are considered some of the greatest red wines ever made.

Professional Reviews

Jancis Robinson

JR 17
"Light to mid ruby. Light but mellow, lightly tarry nose. Very sweet and charming on the palate. Definitely on the light side but the tannins are - at last - in retreat, making way for a thoroughly satisfying drink. Long and throat-warming."

Wine Spectator

WS 98
"Fantastic quality makes your palate spin with joy. Warm July and August with timely rains were a recipe for greatness, and this is a vin de garde. Seamless and silky, but also with a firm backbone of mineral, wet earth, plum, blackberry and leather notes. An old-fashioned red with a long finish."
