The Story

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.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle, in an perfect condition and has by the neck level. Colour is cherry red, and looking clear and full. On the nose it is fresh, seductive and complex. The taste is fruity,voluptuous, fresh, and dry, warming, with medium tannin, with silky tannins, and high in acidity, medium-bodied and with perfectly balanced structure. On the palate it is layered and has earthy, vegetal, pepper, floral, smoky, plum and blackberry flavours. The finish is long and vibrant. This wine is impressive. I paid around 100-200€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years, decant at least 1h before tasting and this is a good invest wine. Good value for money. I do recommend.
