Quintessentially Wine to offer a rare collection of Paul Jaboulet Ainé, La Chapelle Hermitage
London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 2 November 2014 -- Quintessentially Wine is delighted to announce that it will offer a highly rare collection of La Chapelle Hermitage, from the great northern Rhône producer, Paul Jaboulet Aîné. The collection will feature all thirty two vintages of La Chapelle Hermitage created since 1952.
One of only three collections in the world, this sale represents a unique opportunity for global wine enthusiasts and investors to own an iconic collection of this most revered wine.
The collection features the 1961 vintage of La Chapelle Hermitage hailed as one of the greatest wines of the 20th century. In 2011, a six bottle collection of this outstanding wine was sold by Sotheby’s for $102,850, clearly demonstrating the international appeal of this historic estate.
The wines have been sourced directly from the cellars of Paul Jaboulet Aîné, where they have resided since their creation in perfect conditions, adding to the value of the collection. The opus spans six decades dating from the 1952 vintage, and features the prized vintages of 1978 and 1990, which were both awarded 100 points by the US wine critic, Robert Parker.
The collection will be launched on the 20th November 2014 at a Quintessentially Wine dinner to be hosted by Caroline Frey, the owner and winemaker at Paul Jaboulet Aîné. The dinner will take place at Quo Vadis in London’s Soho, owned and run by the Hart Brothers.
This intimate evening will offer guests the opportunity to sample three vintages of La Chapelle Hermitage, including the 1988, together with a range of wines hand selected by Caroline Frey.
