Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné ‘La Petite Chapelle’ Hermitage 2001

Hermitage is one of the most famous winemaking appellations in Europe. The slopes of the Hermitage hill – supposedly once home to a 13th-century knight – grow some of the finest Syrah in the world. Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the most respected producers in the Rhône Valley. And we’re lucky enough to have a small parcel of a 20-year-old vintage of their iconic ‘La Petite Chapelle’, the very first vintage they made. It’s savoury and full-bodied, with notes of black pepper, leather, violet, red plum and cooked fruit. The integrated acidity makes it a fine match for grilled lamb or a tomahawk steak.
