Chapoutier 'Monier de la Sizeranne' Hermitage 2016

Hermitage is the most famous of all the northern Rhône appellations, its 120 hectares produce tiny quantities of very long-lived reds. The vines were grown in Roman times, although local folklore claims their origins to be 600 years earlier. The wines are powerful, with a deep colour and firm tannins, and the potential to age for many decades. The best Hermitage is produced from several climats blended together.

Grape Varietals: 100% Syrah

Wine Region: Rhone Valley, France

Tasting Notes: A deep garnet red, with purplish lights. The nose presents red fruit such as raspberry & blackcurrant, with a hint of liquorice. The palate is round and elegant with concentrated & gentle tannins.
