Opaque plum/garnet-colored, with a fabulously sweet, youthful bouquet of licorice, incense, smoked meats, pepper, and blackberry/cassis fruit, the full-bodied 1978 La Chapelle is extremely young with astonishing vigor, velvety tannin, and a full-bodied, multi-dimensional, layered personality. The finish lasts for over 60 seconds. Remarkably fresh and not yet fully mature, the super-concentrated 1978 should continue to age well for another three decades. Anticipated maturity: now-2030

Last year I visited Paul Jaoulet Aîne, and I came away very impressed with the way the estate is headed. After a period of decline in quality, under new ownership the wines are becoming more and more suggestive of older, outstanding vintages. You can view the full report I wrote here, but I thought I’d share a further perfect wine – the 1978 La Chapelle. Today the wine shows an almost smokey character on the nose with so many dried plums, pepper and meat. The palate, meanwhile, is incredibly supple with round and velvety tannins and wondrous, sexy fruit. Unquestionably a perfect wine.

Fantastic quality makes your palate spin with joy. Warm July and August with timely rains were a recipe for greatness, and this is a vin de garde. Seamless and silky, but also with a firm backbone of mineral, wet earth, plum, blackberry and leather notes. An old-fashioned red with a long finish.--La Chapelle vertical. Drink now through 2020. ?PM

Produttore
Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Tra le colline dell'Ermitage, nel 1834 Antoine Jaboulet iniziò a lavorare la sua terra fertile, dedicandosi anima e corpo al tentativo di produrre vini eccezionali dalle sue viti meticolosamente curate. Da allora varie generazioni hanno seguito il suo cammino, arrivando al 2006, quando la proprietà fu acquisita dalla famiglia Frey. Con una storia profondamente radicata nel mondo del vino, essendo proprietaria di Château La Lagune a Bordeaux, la famiglia Frey porta avanti la passione per l'eccellenza di Jaboulet. Sotto la guida di Caroline Frey, l'azienda vinicola e le vigne sono state rinnovate e la trasformazione più degna di nota è il passaggio all'agricoltura sostenibile. Con circa 121 ettari sparsi sulla valle del Rodano, gli appezzamenti settentrionali della Côtes du Rhône producono Syrah, mentre i terreni a Roussanne, Marsanne e Viognier sono dedicati alla coltivazione di viti a bacca bianca. Il simbolo di Jaboulet, l'Hermitage La Chapelle, è il più grande vino mai prodotto in questa tenuta, con l'Hermitage La Petite Chapelle che arriva in un secondo momento.
