Paul Jaboulet-Aîné : La Petite Chapelle 2012

Domaine Paul Jaboulet-Aîné Hermitage La Petite Chapelle is a legendary cru and offers a very rich and elegant 2012 vintage. 
Created out of a single-grape variety, Syrah, this vintage exhibits a purple-tinted dark colour which marks the glass. On the nose, it gives off brightness and one can find mineral notes, as well as violet, forest fruits and mild spices hints. On airing, blackberry and wild black cherry fragrances pair with soft, smoky notes. The 2012 Hermitage La Petite Chapelle is very elegant and accessible. It carries a delicacy reminding of Côte-Rôtie wines. Its finish develops floral, spicy notes, and offers a mouth-feel of an excellent tannic softness.
