In a few words ...
Assembly : 100% syrah vinification : the harvest, 100% de-stemmed, is vinified in concrete vats. Maceration lasts around 4 weeks, to obtain silky, stable tannins for long-term cellaring. The temperature does not exceed 32°c to promote excellent extraction. Only free-run wine is used to make this wine. After racking, the wine is immediately placed in new and one-year-old barrels for a maturing period of around 8 to 20 months. TASTING : color: very dark garnet, almost black. Nose: black fruit with hints of spice and ink. Taste: very powerful yet velvety tannins, notes of smoke and pepper, a magnificent expression of Syrah on this granite terroir. Depending on the vintage, this wine can be kept for 30 to 60 years, or even 50 to 75 years.

Appellation
Hermitage ou Ermitage
The appellation Hermitage ou Ermitage is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison M. Chapoutier and its 169 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
