Paul Jaboulet is the name of this French winery, Hermitage is a wine-growing appellation in northern Rhône on a hill with an old hermit's chapel. La Chapelle is a church. That St. Christophe Chapel has been there since 1235. The Church belongs to Paul Jaboult, however Chateau La Lagune has acquired the Paul Jaboulet winery business.


This winery produces 90,000 bottle of wine every year. This 1961 bottle has 100% Syrah, known to be complex and blended with sophisticated aroma. Robert Parker rated this great bottle 100 points. Anticipated for another 30-50 years. If I had money I would not care to taste it with a sip at HKD$5,000.00!
