M.Chapoutier Ermitage rouge Les Gréffieux 2020 0,75l
M. Chapoutier Ermitage Les Greffieux Rouge comes from parcels at the foot of the Hermitage hill on alluvial terraces of clay studded with rounded stones. The wine is made from hand-harvested syrah and matured in oak barrels. The bouquet reveals blackberry, cassis and blackcurrant along with violets, ink, black pepper and a smoky touch. On the palate Les Greffieux is full-bodied, silky and aromatic, with fine-grained ripe tannins and a long, harmonious finish. Its generous yet structured character makes it an ideal Hermitage to pour with grilled lamb, beef, game dishes and aged cheeses. With a few years of bottle age, additional layers of spice, leather and savoury complexity emerge.
Ageing takes place for 14 to 18 months entirely in barriques, partly new and partly used. The range is not shortened to a single value.
