| Description: | This is an exciting new wine/label from the legendary house of Jaboulet, with 2015 as the first vintage made from 40-65 year old vines. Hermitage La Maison Bleue has replaced La Petite Chapelle in the Jaboulet lineup, but rather than being a selection of lots that did not make the cut for La Chapelle, it is more terroir -based, with the wine coming from the eastern (non-granitic) side of the appellation. Because of that, the wine is softer in style than her big brother La Chapelle, and has a rich, velvety texture. Cedar and spice notes frame cassis and cola notes, lingering through the long, supple finish. Ten years ago, the Frey family purchased this historic property and committed tremendous effort and resources to improve upon the already legendary estate. They immediately started converting the estate vineyards to organic biodynamic principals and encouraging sustainable practices from every family grower they work with. With each successive vintage the purifying effects of these natural agricultural improvements can be felt and tasted. This is one of France's finest estates, the crown jewel of the Rhône Valley. Oenologist and proprietor Caroline Frey, alongside Winemaking Director Jacques Desvernois, are producing the authentic standard for quality Syrah across the Northern Rhône. In 1834, a full 100 years before the introduction of the A.o.c. system, Antoine Jaboulet began to transform a sleepy region into one of the most important quality winegrowing terroirs in the world. Since that time, Paul Jaboulet Aîné has become the benchmark in the Northern Rhône, with the iconic Hermitage ‘La Chapelle' being responsible for some of the greatest wines ever produced. |
