Ermitage Le Pavillon Chapoutier 1989 is a notable representation of the Hermitage region, crafted from meticulously tended old vines averaging 70-80 years in age. This vintage was produced from low yields of approximately 14 hectolitres per hectare, leading to a concentrated expression of terroir. The wine exhibits a deep, opaque colour, with a complex bouquet that hints at dark fruits, minerals and a subtle integration of oak. Known for its structure, this vintage demands patience, likely requiring several more years before reaching its peak. Chapoutier, a historic family-owned estate, is renowned for its commitment to biodynamic viticulture.

Tasted three weeks after bottling, I couldn't quite bring myself to give the elusive three-digit score to this admittedly super wine. Perhaps once the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin has been in bottle a bit longer, as Mourvèdre seems to go into a bit of a funk when recently bottled. For now, it's merely profound, packing in savory, mossy nuances, hints of exotic dried spices like star anise and cardamom and layers of rich, plummy fruit that manage to be full-bodied and deliciously intense without being weighty or overwrought. Creamy, lush, intense and long, it's a tdf (tour de force) in CdP.Joe Czerwinski31st August 2018

Deep vivid magenta. A highly complex bouquet displays candied black and blue fruits, incense and musky earth aromas; violet, licorice and Indian spice notes build in the glass. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering deeply concentrated, mineral-laced blueberry, cherry compote, fruitcake and floral pastille flavors that are given spicy lift and bite by a late peppery flourish. Tightens up slowly on a strikingly long, chewy, floral-driven finish framed by dusty, steadily building tannins.Josh Raynolds1st December 2019
