Tasting Notes
Colour: Brilliantly shimmering golden yellow
Aroma: Mirabelle, apricot, lime, orange blossom and honeysuckle, complemented by other fruity nuances.
Palate: Opens pleasantly aromatic, fruity and balanced. Light-footed and multilayered, this dense white wine presents itself on the palate. The final of this youthful white wine from the wine-growing region of the Rhône Valley finally impresses with a good aftertaste. Enjoy this white ideally well chilled at 8 – 10°C, as an aperitif or an accompaniment to leek soup, leek tortilla or omelette with salmon and fennel.
Grape Varieties: 100% Viognier
History of Paul Jaboulet-Aîné
Paul Jaboulet Aine has been a part of the Rhône Valley wine industry for almost two centuries, beginning with a small plot of land on the hills of Hermitage, before expanding throughout the region. Today, it encompasses more than 100 hectares (250 acres) of vineyards making wines from the northern and southern Rhône, including Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Condrieu and Cornas.
The maison was passed through the Jaboulet family until the purchase by the Frey family in 2006. The Paul Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle is the estate’s flagship wine and is one of the most sought-after wines from the Rhône, reaching high prices at auction.
