M.Chapoutier - Ermitage L'Ermite Blanc 2018

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.

98-100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Chapoutier's colossal 2018 Ermitage l'Ermite Blanc is a candidate for a perfect score, marrying crisp, stony, structural elements with an off-the-charts level of pineapple, citrus and melon fruit. Full-bodied yet fresh, round yet focused, it's a somehow harmonious expression of several seeming contradictions and should amaze drinkers for decades to come.
