M. Chapoutier L’Ermite Rouge
AOP Hermitage, Rhône
Tasting Notes
Displays a very deep, virtually opaque garnet hue. The nose reveals black fruits with spices and India ink overtones. On the palate: tannins are both powerful and velvety. Smoky and pepper overtones express wonderfully the Syrah variety on granitic soil.
Food Pairings
Great with roasted meats wild game and a wide assortment of aged cheeses.
Winemaking Notes
The harvest which is 100% destemmed, is matured in concrete tanks. Fermentation lasts around 4 weeks, to obtain soft and stable tannins to keep the wine for a very long time. The temperature does not exceed 32°C to enable good quality extraction. To make this wine, only the free-run juice is used. Free run juice is immediately transferred into new and one-year-old casks to be matured from 18 to 20 months.
Vineyard Notes
Situated at the top of the Hermitage hill, around the chapel, in a place named the Ermite. The vines are 80 years old and are on granitic soils which are very poor.
Technical Info
Grapes: 100% Syrah
Alcohol by Volume: 14%
