Reviews
The 2017 Hermitage La Chapelle comes from the firm's vineyards on the western half of the Hermitage slope, primarily Le Méal, but with substantial contributions from Les Rocoules and Les Bessards. Classic notes of cassis, black olives, mocha and roasted meat are joined by hints of baking spices in a wine that's full-bodied, deep, dense and rich, with a velvety texture and a lingering finish. It's lower in alcohol than the 2018, less voluptuous and maybe just a step behind that monumental wine, but it's still a serious collectible with three decades of evolution ahead of it.

Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle Hermitage 2017 (Magnum 1.5L)
JD99/WA98/JS98 -- Greatest La Chapelle yet?? This legendary wine just landed in the warehouse. MAGS ARE SUPER-LIMITED, a MUST for the serious collector! First come, first served…! Our price is pretty extraordinary we might add.
Man, our skin got all atingle watching them unload that pallet of wooden boxes of Jaboulet, direct from the Domaine. Wow! Jaboulet is on a qualitative rampage of late, taking these historic wines to new heights of vinous greatness. They just blew it out in 2017, with a truly SENSATIONAL and SEDUCTIVE wine from the legendary hill of Hermitage. Crazy-limited...please jump quick, we have a great price to boot! Some mags and 3 liters too…!
