Tasting Notes

95
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Yohan Castaing - 13 Mar 25
One of the highest points in Chapoutier's lineup this year, the 2022 Ermitage Le Méal evokes aromas of violet, lilac, spices, pepper and dark berries. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and layered, it's more charming than Monier de la Sizeranne with a fleshier core of fruit and more harmonious, velvety tannins, concluding with a floral, ethereal finish. Delicately crafted and refined on the palate, this wine was fermented with 15% whole bunches and aged in a significant proportion of large barrels, 25% of which were new.

Vinous Nicolas Greinacher - 28 Mar 24
The hauntingly floral 2022 Ermitage Le Méal bursts with prominent rose petal and violets alongside black cherry, graphite and cedar. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated, it presents excellent persistence on the savory finish. If all comes together as it should, this will be an outstanding Le Méal built for the long haul.
Drinking Date: 2028 - 2040

Cask sample. Juicy and chewy on the nose, there is real tension here and a nose that is fighting with itself between expressive fruit and a steely graphite-like tension. The tannins are firm yet supple and at the moment are framing the core of the wine. Dense and layered, showing lots of character and needs time. (AC)

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.
