Jancis Robinson
"An unmissable vintage".
"A well-balanced, juicy and fruity blend [...]. The nose reveals aromas of red berries, dried thyme, bay leaves and lots of baking spices, which carry through to a medium-bodied palate with silky tannins and fine texture. This is a serious Côtes-du-Rhône with lots of juicy, fun fruit and a touch of spice on the finish." (James Suckling 2024)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Caroline Frey diligently manages this valley institution. The changes she has undertaken have never been more fruitful, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The red wines are refined, refined and fresh in their fruit flavors, while the whites are fresh and sophisticated. At the top of the range, the mythical Hermitage La Chapelle, a skilful blend of Méal and Bessard, two of the hill's most famous slopes.

About the domain :
Founded in 1834, Paul Jaboulet Aîné remained a family business until 2006, when it was bought out by the Frey finance company. Alongside its trading activity, which has significantly reduced volumes, "PJA" owns the second largest vineyard estate in Hermitage. Its 25 ha (21 reds, four whites) have pride of place in Le Méal, Les Greffieux, Les Dionnières, Les Roucoules and a few Bessards at the far western end of the hillside. Until the early 1990s, this institution produced some of the world's most legendary Syrahs, including La Chapelle, a blend of aged Syrahs. Depending on the vintage, between 30 and 80,000 bottles of La Chapelle red are produced. Selection is based on tannin finesse and depth. The middle and lower slopes of the Méal constitute the heart of the cuvée. After a year's ageing, with 15-20% new barrels, the less dense lots are discarded and enter La Petite Chapelle (now called Maison Bleue), to be drunk within five to seven years.

Wine rated (guide 2023 ) 15.5/20
About the wine:
Attractive nose of fresh, seductive strawberries, juicy, very inviting. Juicy, rich and spicy on the palate. No complexity, raspberry seed and blackberry. Fairly light style, canned red fruit, licorice and spices.
