M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne
Hermitage, Rhône, France
Tasting Notes
Red fruits with a hint of liquorice are evident on the nose. The palate is round and elegant with nuances of blackcurrant, raspberry and spicy aromas when it is young.

Vintage Notes![](https://www.foliowine.com/wp-content/themes/folio-theme-20171229-2120/dist/images/arrows-down.png)
Winter was unusually mild with balmy temperatures continuing into a dry spring, prompting an early budbreak. Vine growth slowed in May due to frost and hail, reducing yields. These cool temperatures were met with a sizzling heatwave in July followed by localized rains, offering replenishment and soil hydration.
Harvest Notes![](https://www.foliowine.com/wp-content/themes/folio-theme-20171229-2120/dist/images/arrows-down.png)
Hand harvesting at optimal maturity. Early picking reduced the solar effect and despite these climatic extremes, the harvest of 2018 is considered an excellent vintage.
Winemaking Notes![](https://www.foliowine.com/wp-content/themes/folio-theme-20171229-2120/dist/images/arrows-down.png)
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 gravels and shingles that are more or less calcareous.
- “Les Greffieux”: silty soil with shingles.
