M.Chapoutier - Ermitage De L'Orée 2015

Unique, unconventional, curious about everything, Michel Chapoutier’s mind has never been static. Michel’s wine-journey began when he was 26 years old. He stood up against principals of the past and preconceived ideas. A man close to the earth, in a thorough quest for revealing terroirs and finding the expression of soils through the taste of wines. Since 1991, biodynamics is at the heart M. CHAPOUTIER’s philosophy.

Appearance: intense golden yellow, with hints of green and gold. Nose: very intense, hot shingles, toffee, very ripe, fruity lemon with floral overtones of acacia and hawthorn. Palate: well-rounded start, full bodied, very complex with overtones of ripe fruits, spices and roasting. Very long in the mouth, with a fresh final note. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.
