Ermitage Le Pavillon Chapoutier 2013

This wine is characterised by its deep colour and complex aromas of dark fruits, spice, and subtle herbal notes. The palate showcases firm tannins and a structured body, making it well-suited for ageing. Chapoutier, a renowned producer established in 1808, is known for its biodynamic approach to viticulture, promoting sustainability within the winemaking process. This wine reflects both tradition and craftsmanship.

“The star of the show in 2013 is the 2013 Ermitage le Pavillon. Coming from the west and eastern edges of the Bessards lieu-dit and aged in 30% new French oak, its sensational black/blue color is followed by the awesome bouquet of cassis, smoked earth, graphite and caramelized meats that could come from no other terroir in the world. Full-bodied, massive, dense, sexy and with a liquid rock-like character that comes out with time in the glass, it has sweet tannin and a blockbuster finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It needs 5-6 years of cellaring and will have 30-40 years of more of ultimate longevity.” 98 points, Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
