M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne

Hermitage, Rhône

Tasting Notes

Red fruits with a hint of licorice are evident on the nose. The palate is round and elegant with flavors of blackcurrant, raspberry and spicy aromas when it is young.

Grilled and roasted red meats, pizza, pasta dishes, casseroles, stews. Great with venison fillet in red wine sauce.

Entirely destemmed, the grapes ferment in concrete tanks. From one to two daily treadings ensure a good extraction. Temperature varies between 30 and 33°C. 18 months ageing, 85% of which takes place in oak barrels, giving the wine its notes of oak. The remaining 15% is aged in concrete tanks to preserve minerality and freshness.

Our Hermitage “Monier de la Sizeranne” comes from a blending of different soils from West to East:

  • “les Bessards”: from a granitic origin, it constitutes the “soul” of a good Hermitage.
  • “le Méal”: old alluvial terraces, with a lot of gravels and shingles more or less calcareous.
  • “les Greffieux”: silty soil with shingles.

Varietal: 100% Syrah Alc: 14% Residual Sugar: <08 g/L pH: 3.76 Acidity: 5.05 g/L
