Hermitage La Petite Chapelle 2009 Jaboulet Aine

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

The second wine is called Hermitage La Petite Chapelle and the 2009 is an outstanding wine in its own right. Its intense ruby/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of blackberries, cassis, acacia flowers, earth and pepper. This ripe, rich, attractive 2009 should drink well for 15+ years.

Winespectator (91)

A ripe, sleek, polished style, with winey currant, blackberry and a?a? berry fruit at the core, wrapped in prominent layers of roasted vanilla, anise and espresso. There's a slightly firm, stolid finish, but also enough length and density to merit cellaring in the hopes of more finesse emerging.
