Hermitage 'La Maison Bleue'
We have mixed cases of 6 available, which contain two bottles of each wine. With availability so tight, we've added a 3-bottle option including one bottle of each vintage. You also have a further 3-bottle option which are presented in a wooden gift box, and as they’re made-to-order, they’ll require a few extra days for delivery.
Each case includes the following wines:
2017 Hermitage 'La Maison Bleue', Paul Jaboulet Aîné
"Jaboulet's 2017 Hermitage La Maison Bleue is flat-out sexy stuff, full-bodied, plush and generous without being overripe or unstructured. Licorice, cassis and Asian five-spice powder burst from the glass in a complex whirl of scents and flavors. Sourced from the eastern end of the appellation, it offers immediate gratification and admirable quality at a fraction of the price of the La Chapelle."

2018 Hermitage 'La Maison Bleue', Paul Jaboulet Aîné
"A superb Maison Bleue, the 2019 Hermitage La Maison Bleue seamlessly blends cherries and cassis into a purple mashup of fruit carried on rich, velvety waves of texture. Full-bodied and intense, it finishes complex and savory, adding notes of olive, clove and cedar on the long, luxurious finish. Already approachable, it should drink well through 2040."

2019 Hermitage 'La Maison Bleue', Paul Jaboulet Aîné
"Sourced from the eastern portion of the hillside, the 2018 Hermitage La Maison Bleue is earthy, welcoming and open with hints of crushed stone accenting red raspberries and vanilla. Full-bodied and lush, with a creamy texture, it's approachable young, yet still powerful, rich and long on the finish. I'd expect it to close down over the next couple of years, then reemerge and blossom after 2025 or so."
