In the heart of the Rhône Valley, this small chapel has become one of the world’s great historic buildings
La Chapelle, the jewel of Maison Jaboulet, has a rich and emotive history.
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 t...

1945 was an also exceptional year throughout the whole France, from Côte-Rôtie to Rhône. Due to the warm and dry conditions, the grapes were very concentrated and produced an extraordinary, but unfortunately small yield. The harvest in 1945 was an early harvest, which started on the same date as 1982, September 13. The wines began life with massive levels of tannin and took quite a few decades to develop. Due to the high tannin levels, many of...

Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle 1945 / This to me was a remarkable wine, a bit like many ‘45’s in its power and concentration. I described it as a sumptuous riot of fruit. And while those who are after some more of the La Chapelle structure may be disappointed (and I have sympathy with aspects of the assessment), this is such an effulgent expression of fruit and terroir, that I can really only cheer. Plums, orange zest, pepper and currants on the enticing nose. The palate is awash in luscious, sweet fruit, soy tinged, with melting tannins, round and soft, pure velvet past the mid palate, and it finishes with gusto, batons twirling, with layered exuberance and appealing length. 96 Points++
Dark, brick red, bright colour. Very intense and deep nose with complex aromas – earthiness, very dark chocolate, hints of anise. Gently mouthfilling palate, medium-bodied, smooth silky texture, dried red fruits, plums. Gently intense and delicate aftertaste that remains moderately long. A true meditation wine.
