Omschrijving
La Chapelle Hermitage brengt ons terug naar 1224, wanneer ridder Henri-Gaspard de Sterimberg, terug van de kruistochten, besluit zich als kluizenaar op een kleine heuvel te vestigen. Door een kleine kapel te bouwen en deze te omringen met Syrah-wijnstokken, begon le Chevalier de Sterimberg een legendarisch decor, de Hermitage-heuvel. Sinds 1919 zijn de familie Jaboulet en vervolgens de familie Frey elkaar opgevolgd in het cultiveren van de wijnstokken van deze nu iconische cuvée. La Chapelle is een mix van de grote terroirs van westelijk Hermitage, waar de hoogte het hoogst is: Les Bessards (graniet), Le Méal en Les Roucoules (kiezelsteen). De wijn krijgt 12 maanden rijping in Franse eikenhouten vaten (15% nieuw) en cementbetoneieren.
De Hermitage La Chapelle 2019 is afkomstig van de wijngaarden van het bedrijf op de westelijke helft van de Hermitage-helling, voornamelijk Le Méal, maar met substantiële bijdragen van Les Rocoules en Les Bessards. Klassieke tonen van cassis, zwarte olijven, mokka en geroosterd vlees worden vergezeld door hints van bakkruiden in een wijn die vol, diep, dicht en rijk is, met een fluweelzachte textuur en een aanhoudende afdronk.
In de neus pronkt deHermitage La Chapelle Rouge met opwindende aroma's van geroosterd vlees, mokka, steenslag, pruim en cassis. Het is vol, geconcentreerd, rijkelijk tanninerijk en fluweelachtig van structuur. De afdronk is lang en complex, met hints van gemalen peper en gezouten zoethout. een fanastisch glas welke 98+ Punten van Perker heeft gekregen en 97/100 van Vinous.
De beroemde Domaine de la Chapelle, die voorheen bekend stond in combinatie met de naam van Paul Jaboulet. In 2006 kocht de familie Frey het bedrijf. Caroline Frey (Château La Lagune) trad toen aan als hoofdwijnmaakster. Zij zorgde o.a. voor een conversie naar een volledig biologische werkwijze, die sinds 2016 zich vertaalt naar een BIO-certificering. Ook nu worden er grote investeringen gedaan. Er wordt gewerkt aan een nieuwe kelder speciaal voor de wijnen van Domaine de la Chapelle. Om die reden wordt Domaine de la Chapelle losgekoppeld van de wijnen van Paul Jaboulet, zodat alle aandacht naar deze wijnen kan gaan.

Last year, I giddily speculated whether the 2019 Hermitage La Chapelle would warrant a 100-point score. While close—and I wouldn't completely discount it reaching that pinnacle in another decade or two—I'm not sure this wine is as good as I thought. It boasts exciting aromas of roasted meat, mocha, crushed stone, plum and cassis on the nose. It's full-bodied, concentrated, richly tannic and velvety in texture. It's long and complex on the finish, adding hints of cracked pepper and salted licorice. And yet, as much as I enjoyed tasting it and as undeniably great it is, angels didn't sing from the heavens. Maybe next bottle.
When I spoke with her via Zoom in mid-December, Caroline Frey was candid in discussing her COVID-19 experience. "I was thinking, ‘I'm young. I do a lot of sports,’” she said, assuming that even if she caught it, she wouldn't be hugely affected. But when she contracted the virus, she lost her sense of smell, and she said it was just starting to come back as we tasted through the 2018s and 2019s from Paul Jaboulet Aîné. According to Frey, in 2018, the vineyards received plenty of rain from March through June, followed by dry, windy conditions, which kept the vines healthy. Harvest began on August 27th and extended through September 25th. "There's something powerful and pure in 2018," she said. "It's a mix of ’15 (power) and ’16 (purity)." Referencing the 2018 Domaine de Thalabert, Frey said, "We have the power and density but not like ’03. The wine is still bringing freshness and balance." The 2019 season was characterized by a cool spring and a slow start to the growing season, but that was followed by intense heat, including 10 days of temperatures that exceeded 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). A major hailstorm struck Crozes-Hermitage in mid-June, leading to extensive crop losses (up to 60%, according to Frey), followed by another, smaller hail event in July that affected parts of Hermitage and Saint-Joseph. Despite those storms, parts of the vineyards still experienced hydric stress, so picking didn't begin until September 11 and concluded on September 27. "We had smaller berries and thicker skins than in 2018," she said. "We did a very soft extraction—more like an infusion. When we have these levels of richness, we imagine the finish may be unbalanced, but that's not the case. We have length and freshness." Both of these vintages are hugely successful at Jaboulet, no doubt because of the team's ability to deal with the hot, dry conditions. As Frey said, "The biggest challenge is to have the ripeness from the vines and not just the sun." All of the wines—including the substantial volumes of the Côtes du Rhône Parallele 45—have now been certified organic (produced from organically grown grapes as defined by U.S. terms, as sulfur is added), with the estate wines being grown biodynamically since 2015. Because they are made in the same facility as some non-biodynamically grown wines, they're not certified for the time being.
Between my hectic schedule of visits and Caroline Frey's racing around to direct harvesting in Switzerland, Burgundy, the Rhône and Bordeaux, we were unable to connect in person this year. She deputized Robin Jullian, a former cellar hand turned export manager, to taste through the wines with me. The style of the white wines has changed somewhat, although Jullian pointed out that they're actually more like they would have been in the distant past. Picking dates appear to have been moved forward, and the wines are seeing much less oak than in recent history. The 2020 Hermitage Le Chevalier de Sterimberg, for example, is completely unoaked, aged exclusively in concrete. I confess I had some difficulties grappling with this, writing in my notes at one point, "Nothing resembling Hermitage as we understand it." The reds were more consistent with my expectations, with the 2019s looking particularly strong and cellar-worthy here, and the 2020s (from barrel) being softer and more elegant.

A big, rich wine with intense fruit, showing blackberry, black olive and black truffle character. Full-bodied and layered with chewy tannins that are soft and juicy. It’s a little warm on the finish. Yet, the decadence is so attractive and the phenolics keep it in line. This is very solid. Try after 2024.

From: Never a Dull Vintage in the Northern Rhône (Dec 2022)
Dark, vivid purple. Highly perfumed, mineral- and spice-accented aromas of blackberry, cherry preserves, incense, olive and pungent flowers show superb clarity. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering deeply concentrated and sharply defined black and blue fruit preserve, candied violet, bitter chocolate and fruitcake flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Finishes wonderfully long with an emphatic, mineral cut, a repeating floral note and youthfully gripping tannins.

Paul Jaboulet Aîné, a historically significant house/domaine and one of the oldest in the Rhône Valley, continues to issue high-quality wines, as their 2019s and 2020s clearly attest. Under the watchful owner Caroline Frey, the wines have become much more consistent than before her family purchased the company in 2006. There are a fair number of remarkable wines from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but back then, quality was erratic. For every amazing, even legendary wine, from, say, 1961, 1978, 1985, 1989, 1990 and 1991, a far greater number of bottlings missed the mark, sometimes widely. That’s certainly not the case today.

Nadat de Zwitserse familie Frey, in de persoon van Jean-Jacques Frey, het in 2006 overnam kreeg het een nieuwe impuls, dankzij investeringen in wijngaarden, behuizing en wijnmaakfaciliteiten.
Al generaties lang is de familie Frey bij het maken van wijn betrokken. Naast eigenaar van één van de mooiste wijngaarden in de Champagnestreek en aandeelhouder van het prestigieuze champagnehuis Maison Billecart-Salmon is de familie ook eigenaar van Château La Lagune in Haut-Médoc. Caroline Frey, de oudste dochter van Jean-Jacques, maakte in 2004 haar eerste wijn van Château La Lagune. Vandaag de dag is zij eindverantwoordelijk voor de wijnen van Château La Lagune en, samen met Frederic Jaboulet, voor de wijnen van Paul Jaboulet Aîné.
