M. Chapoutier Ermitage l´Ermite 2017 (100 RP) 75cl
Wine Advocate-Parker : 100/100 RP L'Ermitage l'Ermite 2017 est tout aussi étonnant mais dégage une expression complètement différente de l'Hermitage. D'une certaine manière, il combine le mode réservé du Pavillon avec la générosité du Méal, ce qui donne un vin que je ne peux que qualifier de parfait. Le cassis immaculé est d'une pureté remarquable, rejoint par des notes complexes de pierre concassée, de réglisse salée et de moindres notes de chêne à grain fin. Il est corsé, concentré et velouté, avec des tonnes de tanins moelleux mais mûrs et une finale qui dure quelques minutes.

Harvest: Late hand-harvesting in order to obtain optimal alcohol content.
Soil: Situated at the top of the Hermitage hill, around the chapel, in a place named the Ermite. The vines are 80 years old and are on granitic soils which are very poor.
Vinification: The harvest which is 100% destemmed, is matured in concrete tanks. Fermentation lasts around 4 weeks, to obtain soft and stable tannins to keep the wine for a very long time. The temperature does not exceed 32°C to enable good quality extraction. To make this wine, only the free-run juice is used.
Ageing: Free run juice is immediately transferred into new and one-year-old casks to be matured from 18 to 20 months.
Grape variety: 100 % Syrah.

Sommelier's advice: Beef, game, all cheeses
