M. CHAPOUTIER, L'ERMITE, 2011

HERMITAGE

All wines of Rhone valley - Tous les vins
"It slowly delivers abundant blackcurrant and black raspberry fruits, graphite, licorice, and a sharp minerality. It is full-bodied, deeply concentrated, and tannic, but it never hits a false note and is perfectly balanced and harmonious." - Robert Parker

CHARACTERISTICS

GRAPE VARIETY 100% Syrah

Histoire et anecdotes
A true global reference, Maison Chapoutier is located in Tain l'Hermitage. Its history began in 1808 under the name Maison Calvet et Compagnie. In 1897, Marius Chapoutier, along with a partner, founded a company that would become the future Maison Chapoutier. Since 1989, the brilliant wine merchant and winemaker Michel Chapoutier has been leading the house. The Chapoutier empire has been built through successive vineyard acquisitions both in France and around the world.
