Producer Notes
Jaboulet is famous for its Hermitage La Chapelle which has a tendency to rival some of the top Bordeaux in its complexity and array of flavours. The 25 other appellations they produce wine from, although less famous, should by no means be forgotten. Domaine de Thalabert and St Pierre Cornas are high on the list of great value wines.
