Ermitage L`Ermite Blanc Chapoutier 2010 is a white wine crafted from old-vine Marsanne and Roussanne sourced from the esteemed L`Ermite vineyard located at the summit of Hermitage Hill. This single-vineyard wine benefits from poor granitic soils that yield concentrated grapes. The wine exhibits a blend of floral and mineral characteristics, with aromas of citrus peel, hazelnut and subtle spice, complemented by a taut acidity. Chapoutier, recognised for biodynamic viticulture and respect for terroir, continues to honour traditional methods while producing wines of precision and terroir expression.
96 Vinous
(100% marsanne, from ungrafted vines, many of which reportedly pre-date phylloxera): Vivid gold. Explosive, mineral-drenched aromas of nectarine, poached pear, honey and anise, with a smoky overtone. Completely coats the palate with deeply concentrated orchard and pit fruit flavors and picks up bright chalk and floral nuances with air. As much a solid as a liquid, and yet the wine shows an uncanny litheness and precision. Finishes sappy, incisive and relentlessly long, leaving iodine, pear and floral notes behind, eventually.

Passion and Drive

One of the oldest producers in the Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier was established in 1808. The arrival of a young Michel Chapoutier, who took over management of the family domaine in 1990, saw huge changes and a renewed drive for excellence, focussing especially on the diverse terroir of the Rhône. Michel has embraced biodynamic practices in recent years and attributes much of the increase in quality to this approach. The wines are generous and fruit-forward at the entry level, moving towards the sublime as we move up the quality ladder.

Two of the greatest wines in the portfolio are 'De L'Orée', an Hermitage Blanc made from 100% Marsanne and 'Le Pavillon', a full-bodied, expressive Hermitage rouge that effortlessly rubs shoulders with the world's greatest Syrah.
