Product Notes

M. Chapoutier L’Ermite Rouge wine, one of France's finest treasures, is a quintessential example of wine-making brilliance. This exuberant red wine, characterised by deep crimson tinges, is primarily produced from Syrah grapes cultivated on the slopes of Hermitage Hill. It exhibits distinguished complexity with distinctive notes of dark fruits, spices, and black olives, elegantly underpinned by a smokey undertone. All these flavours romp in harmonious concert on the palate, creating an enduring finish. Aged meticulously in oak barrels, the L’Ermite Rouge wine offers an unparalleled drinking experience marked with impressive richness and finesse. A luxurious treat for fine wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

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