Paul Jaboulet Aîné

Vying with Delas as the oldest house producing Hermitage, Jaboulet developed fame for Hermitage led by the cuvee La Chapelle – a wine of legend for many, especially anybody lucky enough to have experienced the amazing 1961 vintage. Other vintages of almost equal fame are the 1991, 1990 and 1978.

Founded in the Tain l’Hermitage town, by Antoine Jaboulet, in 1834, over the years the domaine has expanded from Hermitage to today also include vineyards in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, including Domaine de Thalabert. 

After the ever-charming Gerard Jaboulet passed away in 1997 the company lost its way somewhat until being sold to Jean-Jacques (who made his fortune in real estate and experience of running estates in Champagne, Burgundy, and Bordeaux) in 2005. The first change was in the vineyards with the slow but deliberate conversion to organic then biodynamic principles. La Chapelle is now back in wondrous form and is once again a wine power and beauty, and a unique experience for any wine lover.
