Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Jeb Dunnuck - 14 Sep 15
It will be thrilling to follow the 2009 and 2010 la Chapelles over the coming 40-50 years. Much more sexy, voluptuous and layered than the 2010, the 2009 Hermitage la Chapelle offers sensational levels of extract and concentration to go with notes of cassis, black raspberries, coffee bean, toasted bread and sweet spice. Beautifully pure, layered, and yet massively endowed, with sweet tannin, it will be drinkable at an earlier age than the 2010, but I suspect will be just as long lived. It's a true tour de force in Hermitage!
Drinking Date: 2020 - 2059

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 27 Aug 25
A muscular vintage, with a touch of game, soy, umami and campfire on the aromatics. Opens to show blackberry, blood orange, tapenade, pomegranate, toast. An excellent wine, in a richer, more opulent style than the floral-dominant 2007, both stunning expressions of Syrah. This is in its drinking window, and begging to be shared, but will go for decades. Caroline Frey owner and winemaker, Denis Dubourdieu consultant.

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Mar 12
Opaque purple. Complex, highly fragrant aromas of candied dark fruits, cola, incense and violet, with bright mineral and spice nuances adding lift and energy. Stains the palate with deep blackberry and boysenberry flavors that expand and gain sweetness with aeration. Refuses to let up on the finish, which leaves peppery spice and floral pastille notes behind.

From The Wine Society's cellar.Very dark garnet. Oaky but with more obviously peppery Syrah character than in the 2007. Deep dark fruit. Sweet fruited. Chewy, vanilla-laced black fruit. Thick texture, a bit drying on the finish. (JH)
Drinking Date: 2022 - 2032
Hermitage Fine Wine

Hermitage

Hermitage, a prestigious Northern Rhône appellation, is famed for its exceptional red and white wines. The reds, made primarily from Syrah, are known for their intense flavours of dark berries, black olives, spices, and smoky, meaty notes, with structured tannins and long finishes. The whites, mainly from Marsanne and Roussanne, offer richness with balanced acidity and flavours of honey, stone fruits, and nuts. Top producers like Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, E. Guigal, and Domaine Delas Frères are celebrated for showcasing Hermitage's unique terroir and quality.
