Ermitage Les Greffieux Chapoutier 2011 is a full-bodied single-vineyard wine from the northern Rhône Valley. The wine originates from the Greffieux vineyard site at the base of Hermitage hill, whose terroir comprises glacial alluvial deposits with shingles and clay. The fruit is fully destemmed and vinified in cement vats, allowing for a long maceration to gently extract tannins. On the nose, expect notes of black fruits, ink and hints of black pepper. The palate reveals robust tannins alongside nuances of dark berry fruit, bacon and liquorice.

Vinous
Saturated ruby. Heady, expansive aromas of black and blue fruit liqueur, potpourri and incense, with smoky Indian spices emerging with air. Juicy, strikingly intense blackberry and blueberry flavors are complicated by notes of minerals and candied violet, with a subtle peppery quality adding bite. Velvety tannins give shape to the extremely long, spicy, penetrating finish, with the floral note echoing. This stunning, palate-staining wine gets my vote as the best Chateauneuf of its vintage.Josh Raynolds1st January 2014
