“Gerard Jaboulet died not long ago, and it reminded me of the first time I visited him, on one of our first trips to France in 1993. We were in the Rho^ne Valley and went to a big long

us to tell him what it was. Well, it turned out to be a 1978 Hermitage from the La Chapelle vineyard. I had just turned 21, and we had just started planting our vineyards. It really made an
impression on me: Wine from one generation and one country to the next. I’ve never forgotten that.” MORE TO READ
