spice and blood orange infuse the 2016 with incredible depth and complexity before it finishes with mind-blowing intensity

Paul Jaboulet Aine, Hermitage Maison Bleue Vintage:2016 There is good richness and2015 is the first vintage of this cuve, which replaces the Petite Chapelle. There's a certain meaty aspect to the nose, a savoury note that brings aged Pinot Noir to mind. It has a minty freshness, crisp and well defined with a fine acid thread. A medium bodied, balanced and contemporary expression of Hermitage.
