Ermitage Rouge L'Ermite 2011, Michel Chapoutier
The essence of granite. A monumental and austere Syrah, expressing the absolute verticality of the Hermitage terroir through mineral complexity and timeless elegance.
Ermitage Rouge L'Ermite 2011, Michel Chapoutier
Purity and aristocracy. The 2011 vintage opens with a dark, magnetic bouquet: black blueberries, Tasmanian pepper, withered violet, and a deep note of graphite and ash. On the palate, it is taut and vibrant, with a sculptural structure supported by a mineral acidity that carries the sip into an endless finish of spices and scorched rock.
