M. Chapoutier Tinto

Description

This Ermitage from M. Chapoutier is a stunning testament to the power of terroir – quite simply, it’s remarkable. Crafted from a single block of Syrah, grown on a deeply-layered clay and rounded granite hillside, it delivers serious concentration and structure. The extended maceration and use of solely gravity-fed must contribute to an incredibly refined elegance. With a generous 1/3 of new oak aging, this wine has earned rave reviews from Jeb Dunnuck, Robert Parker and James Suckling – even securing the coveted "exceptional" rating from Le Guide de Meilleurs Vins de France. Seriously, pair it with something hearty like a slow-cooked beef stew and some warming spices.
