Hermitage “La Chapelle”小教堂-可以說是法國隆河區最具代表性的希哈頂級酒款。入選Decanter收藏家必備十大酒款,除了它隱士般的強勁風格,還有廣受肯定的頂級形象,它曾以1978與1990兩個年份受到酒評家Robert Parker 100分滿分的肯定,1961年份曾被Wine & Spirit雜誌選為20世紀世界十大名酒.
Paul Jaboulet Aine嘉伯樂的代表之作,產自位於小教堂酒區丘陵頂處的聖克利斯多夫小教堂。其於1253年由一位倖存的十字軍東征騎士隱居于此後建成,並開始在此處種植葡萄。 P.J.A.-1919年收購了聖克利斯多夫小教堂。
小教堂紅被視作全世界最頂級的葡萄酒之一。其由Syrah釀造而成;所選用的葡萄藤平均年齡高達50歲。
小教堂所在的丘陵地理位置特殊-其葡萄園得以充分沐浴陽光,並不受冷風侵襲。當地土壤下層為花崗岩,上層覆蓋片麻岩,同時還有鵝卵石地帶。葡萄園在不同的幾種土壤上生長,從而使其葡萄酒兼具複雜和細膩兩種風格。

More dense, concentrated and structured, the knockout 2011 Hermitage La Chapelle, which comes mostly from the warmer, Le Meal lieu-dit, is up with the top 7-8 wines in the vintage. Offering up layers of black raspberry, powdered rock, chocolate, roasted meats and graphite, it flows onto the palate with full-bodied richness, solid mid-palate depth and masses of fine tannin that are sweet and polished. Reasonably approachable given the wealth of fruit and texture, it should nevertheless be given a handful of years in the cellar. It should have 20+ years of total longevity.
| WS:97:Some lovely fruit, polished and clean, with all the attributes of a fine terroir--mineral and above all a lot of sweet, ultraripe fruit. Full-bodied, long, with plenty of toasted, smoked bacon and blackberry notes. Easier to appreciate young than many La Chapelles, but what hedonistic pleasure.

The 2001 Hermitage La Chapelle looks to be a strong effort, perhaps the finest since 1997. This is welcome news as this can be one of the world’s greatest wines. After an extremely severe selection (something that may have been lacking in previous vintages), the 2001 boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as a sweet nose of creme de cassis intermixed with licorice and earth. Full-bodied, sweet, rich, and moderately tannic, it should merit a score in the low nineties, a good sign after a succession of uninspiring efforts. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.
