Paul Jaboulet Aine La Chapelle Hermitage (France)
We were very pleased to be able to offer the Jaboulet La Chapelle Hermitage to Tannic members. This is one of the highest profile wines from France, and can be considered the standard for northern Rhone wines period. The wine is aged for 15 to 18 months in wood in their ancient “Vineum” cellar before being released in extremely small quantities to the public with less than 250 cases of 6 making it to the U.S. and an even smaller amount making it to Alberta.

Meyer Chardonnay (Canada)

Chateau Haut-Bailly (France)
This is a wine “of the vintage”. The 2009 Bordeaux that we have been featuring on Tannic have all been rated as some of the finest of the last decade. However, in this case, this Chateau Haut-Bailly could be the finest wine produced at this Chateau ever, and that is high praise for a wine which has peformed better than Haut-Brion in blind tastings.
