Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle Blanc 2021

Substantial selection of 600 bottles, Robert Parker's 94-point rating, is a testament to the wine's enduring appeal.

Banana-like nose precedes a tongue highlighted by by green apple and oak, with a tart trail that lingers.

Wine of extraordinary quality, the 2006 magnum of the Terrior Renaissance Symposium was a true delight. Its deep, voluptuous color and detailed nose of ripe plum, chocolate, and roasted nuts offered a sensory impression that was both rewarding and refined. The acidity, alcohol, and velvety tannins provided a refined and rewarding mouthfeel, at the same time the inky chocolate and oak layers added nuance and intricacy to the finish. Overall, this wine was a masterclass in integration and refinement, with a long and delightful close that would only improve with age. A true memorable of the symposium.
