Ermitage Rouge Le Pavillon 2010, Michel Chapoutier
The immensity of Syrah. A monumental, pure, and profound wine, considered among the world's ultimate expressions of the variety.
Ermitage Rouge Le Pavillon 2010, Michel Chapoutier
Sourced from old vines on the granite soils of the "Les Bessards" plot, the 2010 Le Pavillon is a wine of almost supernatural concentration. The nose is an explosion of wild blackberry, licorice, tar, incense, and black pepper, all underpinned by a granitic minerality that forms its backbone. On the palate, it is dense and imposing, yet possesses surgical precision. This is a wine built for the ages, destined to evolve for decades.
