"A legendary vintage..."

“Made from grapes grown on the eastern slope of the Hermitage hill, the 2022 Hermitage La Maison Bleue evokes aromas of loamy soil, blackberries, iris, and dark berries, which blend with floral notes as the wine opens up. Medium- to full-bodied, structured, and concentrated, it features a rich, dense core of fruit and velvety yet abundant tannins, with a charming, youthful, and long finish. More full-bodied and deeper than many Hermitage wines due to its clay soils without granite influence, this is an enveloping and surprising Hermitage. ” (Wine Advocate 2025)

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2023 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

Caroline Frey diligently manages this long-standing estate in the valley. The changes she has implemented have never been more successful, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The red wines are clean, refined, and fresh with fruity aromas, while the whites are crisp and sophisticated. At the top of the range is the legendary Hermitage La-Chapelle, a masterful blend of Méal and Bessards, two of the hill’s most famous slopes.

About the estate:

Founded in 1834, Paul Jaboulet Aîné remained a family-owned business until 2006, when it was acquired by the financial firm Frey. In addition to its wine trading business—which has seen a significant reduction in volume—“PJA” owns the second-largest vineyard estate in Hermitage. Its 25 hectares (21 of red, 4 of white) are located in prime spots in Le Méal, Les Greffieux, Les Dionnières, Les Roucoules, and a few plots in Bessards at the far western edge of the hillside. Until the early 1990s, this institution produced some of the world’s most legendary Syrahs, including La Chapelle, a blend of aged Syrahs. Depending on the vintage, between 30,000 and 80,000 bottles of red La Chapelle are produced. Selection is based on the finesse of the tannins and the wine’s depth. The middle and lower sections of the Méal hillside form the heart of the cuvée. After one year of aging, with 15 to 20% new oak barrels, the less dense lots are set aside and used in La Petite Chapelle (now called Maison Bleue), which should be enjoyed within five to seven years.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 17/20

About the wine:

The nose is full-bodied, spicy, and rich, with notes of game, blood, and iron. The palate is ripe and round with an opulent texture—firm, succulent tannins that are well-integrated. The fruit is dark, full-bodied, gamey, and spicy. The finish is full-bodied with moderate acidity and a dense, dark aftertaste. Well-balanced, but a bit imposing!

Rated winery (2022 guide) Recommended

About the wine:

Despite its concentration and full-bodied structure, this wine is an elegant and precise expression of Hermitage. It offers a wide spectrum of black and red berries, with complex notes of toasted rosemary and smoke. The fine, generous tannins develop impressively on the finish and need a little time to fully integrate, but they are enveloped in enough richness to be exciting even now. Sourced from vineyards on the eastern slope of the Hermitage hill. Made from organically grown grapes. Best enjoyed starting in 2027.

About the wine:

Sourced entirely from the eastern part of the appellation, the 2022 Hermitage La Maison Bleue was fully destemmed and aged in barrels, 15–20% of which were new. Its deep ruby/plum color is followed by a beautiful nose of blackcurrant, smoky herbs, graphite, and spices. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, with a full-flavored, well-structured palate, good overall balance, and a lovely finish. I’m already enjoying it now, and I see no reason why it shouldn’t be enjoyed over the next 20 to 25 years.
