2015 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle

The 2015 vintage in the Northern Rhone is the finest in decades, long awaited and in high demand. It is viewed in the highest possible regard and has already started receiving the finest scores and accolades. Today we are excited to release the epitome of the region, Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Chapelle 2015. In 2015, Jaboulet’s La Chapelle has been awarded its first 97-100 point score from barrell in decades, making it hugely collectable. As such it is very likely to surpass the 2009 and 2010 vintages, both heralded as exceptional and awarded 98 and 97+ respectively. In fact, Jeb Dunnuck from the Wine Advocate states that it ‘has more than a passing resemblance to the 1990.’ The 1990 is the last vintage to have been awarded 100 points and it is noteworthy that it was scored 99 at the first asking, before latterly being awarded a perfect score: the 2015 has this accolade out of the gate. Dunnuck concludes ‘it’s a tour de force that’s going to have three to four decades of longevity.’
