A FIRST - EXPECTED JUNE 2025 This edition is a mixed case with 1 bottle of Domaine de la Chapelle Hermitage Blanc and 1 bottle of Hermitage Rouge. In attachment you will find the factsheets of both wines. In the 13th century, the knight Henri-Gaspard de Sterimberg settled in the hills around Tain l'Hermitage, after returning from the court of King Louis VIII and with the permission of Blanche of Castile. Tired and laden with honours after the Crusades against the Albigensians, he retired as a hermit to find peace and serenity. This is how the name of the Hermitage appellation came about. As a hermit, he built a small chapel and planted vines there. Centuries later, his legacy lives on in La Chapelle, whose vineyards have been cared for by the Jaboulet family since 1919 and later by the Frey family. On the steep, stony slopes – which can only be worked by hand – grows this characterful white Hermitage, which proudly bears the name of its founder. The Hermitage Rouge has a A deep ruby red color. The nose is initially subdued, but opens up to a complex bouquet of black fruit, dried flowers and toasted notes. In the mouth the wine is rich, powerful and above all elegant, with a remarkable complexity. The finish is refined and carries mineral nuances. The Hermitage blanc has an attractive pale blond colour with silvery reflections. The nose is complex and unfolds with some aeration. Aromas of white flesh and floral notes (lime blossom) dominate, with a subtle hint of fresh almond and fine aromas of maturation. In the mouth, the attack is delicate and seductive, with fresh aromas of exotic fruit (pineapple) and white flowers. The finish is carried by notes of citrus zest and a hint of brioche, which ensures a long and refined finale.
