Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Petite Chapelle Red 2010 - Original wooden case of 6 bottles

La Petite Chapelle is offered here in the 2010 vintage, now recognized as one of the 3 best vintages of the last 40 years in the north of the Rhône Valley.

La Petite Chapelle 2010 offers a deep, limpid and brilliant colour and intense aromas of sweet spices, flowers (peonies) and ripe fruit. On the palate, the attack is powerful and harmonious, with tannins still tight and a very long finish. It is a wine to be left in the cellar for a few more years to appreciate all its qualities.

La Petite Chapelle is the second wine of the mythical Hermitage La Chapelle but can in certain circumstances be the first wine of the estate when, in some vintages such as 2008, the estate decides not to produce the La Chapelle cuvée. The different plots of the properties, located on the Hermitage hill, are vinified separately until the final blend which takes place one year after the harvest. It is then that the two cuvées are made: La Chapelle and La Petite Chapelle.
