Producer: Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the Northern Rhône's most iconic producers, with La Maison Bleue representing their finest expression of Hermitage. The 2017 vintage delivered exceptional quality across the Rhône Valley, producing wines of concentration and structure with superb ageing potential. This wine comes from the legendary Hermitage hill, where ancient granite terraces produce some of the world's greatest Syrah. With several years of bottle age, La Maison Bleue has begun to develop the complex layers of flavour that make Hermitage so revered, whilst retaining the power and intensity that will allow it to age gracefully for decades to come.
