Tasting Notes

Jancis Robinson Jancis Robinson - 12 Oct 21
Full bottle 1,291 g. Healthy transparent ruby with a pale rim. Initially rather stodgier and less ethereal on the nose than the Chapoutier 1990 and 1991 Monier de la Sizeranne. Still quite dry and savoury with more tannin in evidence than in the Chapoutiers. Quite marked tannin still and not that much aroma yet, though this may build in the decanter. No sediment! (JR)

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.
