Domaine de la Chapelle

La Chapelle stands as a vital component of the world’s

most prestigious wine heritage. 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 our 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.

With every sip, we draw closer to eternity.
