Product Notes

M. Chapoutier L’Ermite Rouge is a pre-eminent, full-bodied red wine hailing from France's prestigious Rhône region. Meticulously crafted from Syrah grapes grown on the arduous granite slopes of Hermitage Hill, L’Ermite Rouge boasts a robe of inky purple. It delivers a complex bouquet of red and dark fruits coupled with earthy undertones, pepper spice, and a hint of liquorice. Profoundly rich and powerful, the wine embodies fine-grained tannins with a lengthy, velvety finish. Matured for decades, each sip offers an exquisite symphony of flavours, paying homage to its old-vine legacy. Truly an outstanding wine for connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

Nose: dark fruit with notes of spice and ink. Palate: very powerful yet silky tannins, with notes of smoke and pepper.
