M.Chapoutier Ermitage rouge Le Méal 2021 0,75l
M. Chapoutier Ermitage Le Méal Rouge comes from a warm mid-slope vineyard on the Hermitage hill where stony pebbles and sand help ripen syrah to great concentration. Old vines farmed biodynamically deliver small, intensely flavoured berries that are aged in oak for additional depth. The bouquet opens with blackberry jam, black cherry and blueberries, wrapped in smoke, licorice, dried herbs and hints of orange peel. On the palate Le Méal is full-bodied, velvety and powerful, with layered ripe tannins and a long, mouth-coating finish. The combination of richness, minerality and precision makes it a benchmark Hermitage to pour with braised beef, lamb, game and rich mushroom dishes.
Ageing takes place in new or one-year-old barrels. The source states only a range of 14 to 18 months, so no single month value is entered.
