HERMITAGE LA CHAPELLE, PAUL JABOULET AINE The Maison Paul Jaboulet Ainé was born from a marriage between the land around Tain l'Hermitage and a passionate family. Founded in 1834 by Antoine Jaboulet (1807-1864), the domain first became known under the direction of his two sons, Paul and Henry. Since then, their descendants have carried on the tradition and have cared passionately for this unique and demanding vineyard. In order to give a lift to the company, Frédéric Mairesse is helped by the current owners of the company, the Frey family, also owners of Chateau La Lagune in Bordeaux. The mythical Hermitage 'La Chapelle', a 'Grand vin' produced with Syrah, takes its name from the little Chapel 'Saint Christophe', which overlooks the vineyards of Hermitage. 'La Chapelle' which has been the property of Maison Paul Jaboulet Ainé since 1919, comes from a blending of the best parcels of the Hermitage appellation from vineyards such as Méal and Bessards. This is a unique opportunity to purchase old vintages of Hermitage la Chapelle that have been stored in optimum conditions in the Jaboulet cellar, this collection includes a rare magnum of 'La Chapelle' 1961 which is classed as one of the twelve mythical wines of the 20th century. All the wines are offered in new original wooden cases.
