Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné was created in 1834 through the magical combination of a fertile land on a hillside by the Rhône and a family with a passion for winemaking.
Over the years, the Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné took possession of the best denominations of the northern Rhône Valley, including Hermitage and Crazes Hermitage, but also Saint-Joseph, Cornas and Saint-Peray, and then Côte Rotie and Condrieu.
In 2006, the Preys family, a long-standing family in the Champagne region and owners of Chateau La Lagune in Bordeaux, took over the Maison Paul Jaboulet Aîné.
Caroline, the eldest daughter, works with her teams, where they use biodynamic methods in search of perfection.
Paralléle 45 Blanc
It has a combination of “outdoor” smells: fresh air, daisy, honeycomb, and wet grass. These aromatic pleasures are compressed and frozen on the palate, which reflects similar flavors in a leaner way, with crystalline citrus fruits, honey, acidity, and a limestone mineral finish.
The generosity of the nose is contrasted with the austerity of the palate, but this marked separation arouses curiosity and asks to taste more.

The nose is powerful and aromatic, with fruity notes and slightly to anise. In the mouth, the attack is frank with a good balance of freshness and notes of white fruit.

Hermitage La petite Chapelle
