Chapoutier Ermitage l´Ermite 2017 (100 RP) 75cl
Wine Advocate-Parker : 100/100 O Ermitage l'Ermite 2017 é igualmente incrível, mas emite uma expressão completamente diferente do Hermitage. De certa forma, combina o modo reservado do Pavillon com a generosidade do Méal, que dá um vinho que só posso descrever como perfeito. O cassis imaculado é de extraordinária pureza, unido por notas complexas de pedra britada, alcaçuz salgado e notas menores de carvalho de grão fino. É encorpado, concentrado e aveludado, com toneladas de taninos suaves mas maduros e um final que dura alguns minutos.

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.

Tasting Notes:
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.
Sommelier's advice: Beef, game, all cheeses
