M.Chapoutier - Ermitage L'Ermite Rouge 2014

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: very deep garnet red, almost black. Nose: black fruits with spices and ink overtones. Palate: tannins are in the same time powerful and velvety. Smoky and pepper overtones express wonderfully the Syrah variety on granitic soil. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.
