Domaine De La Chapelle
La Chapelle stands as a vital component of the world's most prestigious wine hertage. Its 26-hectare vineyard encompasses the most exquisite terroirs of Hermitage. Derived from the Méal and Bessards parcels, boasting vines that have gracefully aged beyond 100 years, La Chapelle's Syrah blend encapsulates the very soul of this multifaceted terroir, serving as the quintessential embodiment of the Hermitage hill's distinctive character.
During the 13th century, Knight Gaspard de Sterimberg, returning from the Crusades, sought solace within this chapel and began cultivating vines. His hermit's existence not only contributed to the naming of the Hermitage appellation but also inspired their white Hermitage, Le Chevalier de Sterimberg, crafted from Marsanne and Roussanne grapes.
Since 1919, the Jaboulet and Frey families have nurtured the vineyards on these steep slopes, where the iconic La Chapelle Hermitage cuvée has found its home. For nearly two decades, Caroline Frey, the President and Head Winemaker of Domaine de La Chapelle, has ardently upheld this exceptional heritage, revealing the enduring brilliance of this remarkable place.
La Chapelle transcends time through vintages of unwavering freshness and purity.
