M. Chapoutier L’Ermite Blanc
AOP Hermitage, Rhône
Tasting Notes
Brilliant straw in color, this wine is complex with aromas of vanilla, almonds, dried fruits, linden-tree and minerality. It is a very round and rich wine, elegantly balanced with a light bitterness on the finish. It has beautiful complexity and a lengthy finish.
Food Pairings
Grilled or roasted white meats. Perfect with fish, shellfish, and many Asian inspired dishes. Also wonderful with mild creamy cheeses and mature strong cheeses.
Winemaking Notes
Grapes are hand-harvested at maturity from a selection of our oldest vines.. After a light cold-settling, fermentation is entirely made in casks between 18 and 20°C. After a long period of fermentation, the wine is matured on lees, with regular stirrings, between 10 and 12 months.
Vineyard Notes
Situated at the top of the Hermitage hill, around the chapel, in a place named the “Ermite”, where the soils are very poor and granitic.
