Domaine de la Chapelle is the new, distinct estate identity for the famous Hermitage red wine formerly labelled as part of the Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aine portfolio.

Review

" The 2016 Hermitage La Chapelle is slightly denser than the 2017 and is a bigger, richer, more structured wine than the La Maison Bleue. Crème de cassis, blackberries, crushed rocks, ozone, scorched earth, and violet notes all emerge from this beautifully classic, elegant, seamless wine that carries full-bodied richness, building tannins, and a big finish, all while staying in the classic, elegant, balanced style of the vintage. It has plenty of tannins and is a quintessential La Chapelle that will have three decades of longevity. - 97pts, Jeb Dunnuck
