Domaine de la Chapelle La Chapelle Hermitage Rouge 2021 comes from one of the Rhône Valley’s most legendary vineyard sites. The wine takes its name from the small chapel built on the Hermitage hill in the 13th century, overlooking the Rhône River, and has long been recognized as one of the great expressions of Syrah.

The Hermitage hill is famed for its steep granite slopes and varied soils, which contribute to wines of depth, structure, and longevity. La Chapelle has been produced since the 1910s and gained worldwide fame in the 20th century, cementing its place among the world’s most iconic red wines.

The 2021 vintage was cooler and more classical in style, yielding elegant wines with freshness and precision. This Hermitage shows aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and violet, with notes of pepper, smoke, and earth. On the palate, it is structured yet refined, with firm tannins, savory complexity, and a long, mineral finish.

While approachable with decanting, La Chapelle 2021 is a wine built for the cellar, with an aging potential of 20+ years, during which it will develop layers of truffle, leather, and game.

A historic and collectible bottle, La Chapelle Hermitage remains a benchmark for Syrah lovers and collectors of great Rhône wines.
