WINE DESCRIPTION
Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle Rouge is a powerful, full-bodied red wine from the Rhone Valley in France. Made from 100% Syrah, this robust wine is oozing with aromas of ripe dark fruit, spice, and hints of smoke and leather. On the palate, the wine is velvety and smooth, with ripe tannins, and flavors of dark cherry, blackberry, and a hint of pepper. The finish is long and intense with a subtle earthy note. This exquisite wine pairs perfectly with game meats, grilled meats, and mature cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
