A nose of red & black fruits, such as raspberry, blackcurrant, with a hint of liquorice.
- This Hermitage 'Monier de la Sizeranne' comes from a blending of different soils from west to east, including 'les Bessards', 'le Méal' and les Greffieux'. A must from Chapoutier!
- A palate with good attack, round and elegant. This Chapoutier is a wine with concentrated and gentle tannins. The final is on blackcurrant, raspberry and spicy aromas when it is young.
- Hand-harvested and totally destemmed Syrah grapes. The wine is 18 months ageing, 85% of which takes place in oak barrels, giving the wine its notes of oak. The remaining 15% is aged in concrete tanks to preserve minerality and freshness.
- In 1897, Marius Chapoutier joined with Rodolphe Delépine to found 'Delépine et Chapoutier', exporting wines in Europe from Tain L'Hermitage. In 1990, Michel Chapoutier became head of the company and began to apply biodynamic cultivation.
- Pair with venison, roast beef, or mature "Saint Félicien" cheese.
